AXA's 2025 Mind Health Study shows that while Filipinos are highly aware of mental health issues, many still don't know how to respond when they or others face mental health challenges. As the new year begins, many are setting intentions for better health, balance, and well-being. Mental health is increasingly part of that conversation. Yet while Filipinos are more aware than ever about mental health, they are unsure about the actions to take.
