@Mai_Rodrigz UPD PsycServ clinical director Dr. Violeta Bautista says it is important to care for one's mental health as it is essential to a person's well-being
Baustista says a person's mental health affects their family as well as the environment they are in
Bautista: Ang nerbyos, kalungkutan, takot at lumbay sa panahon ng pandemya ay maaaring normal na reaksyon sa kalagayan ng ating buhay ngayon. (1/2)
Bautista: Pero pag mga karanasan na ito mas tumatagal, naaabala ka significantly sa iyong ginagawa, nakakahadlang para magkaroon ng kaligayahan sa buhay, at tumatagal nang mahigit 2 linggo at tumatakbo higit sa ilang buwan, kailangan na siguro kumonsulta sa professionals (2/2)
Bautista says a psychiatrist can prescribe medication, while psychologists — specifically clinical psychologists — specialize in giving psychotherapy
Bautista says in serious psychiatric conditions, it would be good to have both specialists
Bautista says in non-serious situations, counselors and psychologists would be able to help
Bautista says including senior citizens and the elderly in activities inside and outside the home can help improve their mental health

@eimorpsantos Gordon: Let us be clear here: Linconn Ong is held in contempt of the Senate and continues to be detained because of his failure to purge himself of his defiant conduct. He has been evasive in answering questions, and he misled and lied to the Committee | @eimorpsantos
