    REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

    According to the National Statistics Office (NSO), mental health


    illnesses rank as the third most common form of morbidity among Filipinos. In
    the assessment conducted on the Philippine mental health system, a
    prevalence of 16% of mental disorders among children was reported. With
    this alarming number of cases, it is surprising to see how the Philippines is
    currently responding to this problem. To date, there are only live government
    hospitals with psychiatric facilities for children, 84 general hospitals with
    psychiatric units, and 46 outpatient facilities from which there are only 11 that
    are designated for children and adolescents. Additionally, there are only 60
    child psychiatrists practicing in the Philippines, with the majority of them
    practicing in urban areas such as the National Capital Region. Hence,
    children with mental health problems who are in rural areas have less access
    to such services.

    A report from World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that in the


    world, one in every four individuals will suffer from mental health problems at
    some point in their lives and that 430 million people worldwide have a mental
    health problem in 2015, the global prevalence of common mental illness such
    as depression and anxiety disorders are estimated at 55% and 3.6%,
    respectively suicide accounts for 1.5% of global deaths in the same year
    (WHO. 2017) WHO D004 suggests that this widespread occurrence of mental
    health problems are often untreated and can cause role performance
    impairment.

    Mental health disorders produce a sizeable burden to its victims.


    Literature suggests that mental illness can cause days out of work, loss of
    productivity, financial drain from treatment costs, family and caregiver stress
    and loss of life.

    According to wend mental health surveys, 50% of psychiatric disorder


    exists by age 14 (Sorel 2010). Mental health problems, being developmental
    in nature are best addressed through prevention measures during early age.
    Educational institutions, being the student primary environment during their
    6

    formal educational years, should establish systems wherein actual and


    potential mental health problems among the young can be addressed. The
    link between mental health of students, and academic engagement.

    Mental health is the foundation for the well-being and effective


    functioning of individuals. It is more than the absence of a mental disorder, it
    is the ability to think. learn, and understand one’s emotions and the reactions
    of others. Mental health is a state of balance, both within and with the
    environment.

    An awareness of fitness, pleasure, and success is called mental well-


    being (Davis, 2019). Davis (2019) also added that mental well-being involves
    a sense of handling stress, a sense of intention or value, happiness in life,
    and the maintenance of mental health.
