Stigmatization in our society regarding mental illness is still a prevalent issue not to mention the poor regard to mental health. This hinders patients from seeking treatment at an early stage of their illness. The challenge is how we could encourage patients to seek treatment in order to have better outcomes.
The Light One’s Life: A Quality of Life Program is one of the advocacy programs of Otsuka Philippines in collaboration with the Philippine Psychiatric Association. It offers a holistic patient-oriented program which aims to:
• Provide better awareness about mental health
• Increase patient consultation rate
• Help patients sustain their therapy thru discount privileges
