ACTIVITY DESIGN

I. RATIONALE

Depression is a serious and the most common psychiatric disorder. It affects how you
feel, think, and handle daily activities. Anxiety, on the other hand, causes distress that interferes with your
ability to lead a normal life. In a recent event, Senator Risa Hontiveros, former chair of Senate Committee on
Health stated that our country has the highest number of cases of depression in Southeast
Asia wherein 1 out of 5 Filipinos suffer from these mental or psychiatric disorder and an average of 88
cases were reported for every 100,000 Filipinos. Due to its alarming threat to the Filipino society, in
particular, various efforts from different government and non-government sectors focused on
raising awareness among the general public regarding the seriousness of the said issue. While
these efforts have been effective in one way or another, centralized attempts aimed at helping
particular groups of people are currently lacking. In light of this, there is an urgent need to conduct
seminars focused on disseminating sufficient and practical knowledge that transcends basic
information regarding mental health issue especially to those who are vulnerable to its occurrence.
