Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review highlights that Filipinos worldwide generally show reluctance towards seeking formal mental health help, preferring family and friends instead, with barriers including financial issues, stigma, language barriers, and cultural factors such as shame and conformity.
  • Filipinos' help-seeking behavior is also hindered by personal resilience and self-reliance, with many only seeking formal help in severe cases or as a last resort, while facilitators like social support and perceived distress influence their decision to seek help.
  • Despite high psychological distress, the review confirms low utilization of mental health services among Filipinos primarily due to stigma, and emphasizes the need to address cultural and structural barriers to improve access.
