There’s nothing wrong with seeing a psychiatrist [Summary] =>

Dear Dr. Jao,


Why is the subject of mental illness or depression so heavily stigmatized within the Filipino culture? Why is it seen as taboo? Why would a diagnosis or treatment bring great shame upon the family? Why do many Filipinos prefer to suffer in silence and not admit that a problem exists? I am an American married to a Filipina from Dagupan. I was ostracized by her family because I attempted to seek treatment for my wife after she gave birth.

My boyfriend and I are still both in college. We are now engaged in premarital sex. I know it is not right, but it happened so fast. We’ve been doing this since last year. Why don’t I seem to get the same satisfaction as my partner? By the way, he is my first boyfriend.

Sincerely yours,

Don’t worry, for this is not listed in our psychiatric textbook and is therefore not a mental disorder. Pre-nuptial jitters are temporary and disappear after the wedding.

What can you say about a working mother? Will her relationship with her children and husband suffer if she works in order to help meet the needs of the family?

My teenager is depressed!’ [Summary] => Depression is a mental health illness that will require help from a trained and experienced professional. It is not just a sad feeling that will go away by itself. Remember that a child or adolescent with suicidal tendencies must be confined if the doctor has any doubt about the family’s capability to supervise the child or adolescent or to cooperate with the treatment in an out-patient setting.
