Did you know that right here in the Philippines, mental health issues claim the spot of being the third most common form of morbidity? And guess what? Moms, despite the unique challenges they face, are no exception to this important conversation.

We'll unravel why a mom's emotional well-being is the heartbeat of the household. And stay tuned as we unlock the treasure chest of resilience secrets forged during the toughest times.

Key takeaways:

  • “Kapag ang isang nanay cannot function properly, nadadamay 'yung mga children nila. 'Yung growth ng children, 'yung development nila nakaka-affect ‘yun negatively sa mga bata.” - Gela Sebastian
    • “The mental health system has a prevalence of 16% mental disorders among children. Kasi affected ng nanay ‘yung mga anak nila. At ang ibang mga bata hindi sila resilient enough, ‘yun din kasi ‘yung nakikita nila sa mga magulang nila, sa mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila.” - Gela Sebastian
      • “Kapag malusog ang nanay, masayahin, nagagawa ang mga bagay na nagpapasaya sa kanya, mas naaalagaan niya ng husto ‘yung mga anak niya. Naiiwasan niya din yung mga moments of unhappiness, misunderstanding, at conflicts sa family.  Natutugunan din niya ang pangangailangan ng kanyang mister.” - Gela Sebastian
        • “We need to seek support, lalo na sa mga taong willing tumulong sa atin, willing makinig sa mga pinagdadaanan natin.” - Gela Sebastian
          • “Maternal mental disorders are treatable. Kaya natin itong pagtulung-tulungan. Kaya natin itong gamutin. Effective intervention can be delivered even by well-trained non-specialist health providers.” - Gela Sebastian
            • “I decided na mag-jojournal ako everyday, I will write it in my Facebook newsfeed. Lahat ng nasa isip ko na hindi ko mashare, nashashare ko na siya ngayon. It started my journey to healing.” - Gela Sebastian
