December 29, 2025

As per a report in Philstar.com last Friday, the Department of Health reported that a total of 451 calls were made to the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) over that past week.

The calls were made through the NCMH hotline 1553 from December 21 to 26. Most came on December 23, and were primarily from young adults, most of them female, aged 18 to 30.

The report said that among the main reasons why they called was anxiety and depressive symptoms, love and relationships issues, and family problems.

The report also said the surge in calls isn’t new to the NCMH, with 7,189 suicide-related calls for the first nine months of the year.
