AXA Study: Most Filipinos Know Mental Health Matters - But Few Know What to Do

 

AXA's 2025 Mind Health Study shows that while Filipinos are highly aware of mental health issues, many still don't know how to respond when they or others face mental health challenges.

As the new year begins, many are setting intentions for better health, balance, and well-being. Mental health is increasingly part of that conversation. Yet while Filipinos are more aware than ever about mental health, they are unsure about the actions to take. 

This insight reflects one of the key findings of the latest AXA Mind Health Study, which shows that the Philippines ranks among the highest globally when it comes to mental health awareness, with 65% of Filipinos stating they are aware of mental health issues. However, the study also reveals a concerning gap: only about a third of those surveyed stated knowing what to actually do when faced with mental health challenges, whether for themselves or others.

Paula Ferrer Cheng, Head of Research and Development at Mind You, AXA Philippines’ partner in mental health, states that it is not enough to know what anxiety looks like, people need to know what to do. “Awareness without action leaves people stuck, and in some cases, vulnerable to worsening conditions. That’s why education must go hand-in-hand with any awareness effort. We need to ensure that Filipinos not only recognize mental health issues but also know how to respond. Without that, we risk letting early warning signs escalate into long-term distress.”

According to Cheng, this disconnect between awareness and action poses real risks. Without clear knowledge on how to respond to prevailing mental conditions, the health issues may go unnoticed and result in long-term emotional and economic tolls. 

The AXA study found that individuals who are well-informed about mental health -- those who know the signs, available support, and how to respond -- are significantly more likely to report positive mental well-being and experience better outcomes than those who do not consider themselves well-informed. 

“Awareness is an important first step, but real progress happens when people know they can take action with the right support,” said Ayman Kandil, CEO of AXA Philippines. “Guided by our purpose to act for human progress, AXA stands as a partner to Filipinos—helping them know they can take meaningful steps toward better mind health through access to practical, reliable resources and solutions.”

AXA launches the Mind Health Self-Check tool to help Filipinos assess their mental state and access practical self-care resources for better mental health management.

A New Tool for Mental Health Awareness

AXA has committed to helping address this gap through various initiatives, which include the launch of the free and anonymous Mind Health Self-Check tool, an innovative digital tool designed to give individuals a clear, accessible overview of their emotional wellbeing. With a clear understanding of their emotional wellbeing, individuals can better manage their mental state.

The AXA Mind Health Self-Check evaluates three critical areas of a person’s life: Current State of Mind, Skills and Beliefs, and Lifestyle. By answering a set of detailed questions, users receive a single Mind Health Index score, developed using AXA’s proprietary methodology, that ranges from 0 to 100. This score falls under one of four distinct categories:

    • Flourishing (68+): The highest level, indicating excellent emotional, social, and psychological wellbeing.

    • Getting By (57-68): A stable state with some positive aspects, but not fully flourishing.

    • Languishing (43-57): A state with low motivation and wellbeing, signaling the need for improvement.

    • Struggling (<43): Indicates difficulty and distress in many areas, often associated with emotional and psychosocial impairment.

“The findings we see aren’t isolated,” Cheng notes. “They reflect deeper strain that builds over time and highlights the need for early, compassionate support.” In a separate study conducted by Mind You, among 15,206 employees surveyed, the top reason for seeking help was simply the need for someone to talk to (28.01%), showing that connection and safe spaces matter. With 80% of help-seeking driven by emotional distress rather than clinical diagnosis, and growing curiosity about mental health services (6.07%), the findings point to a cultural shift toward empathy and openness at work.

“When people don’t know how to respond to mental health challenges, they may delay getting support—impacting both their personal wellbeing and their livelihoods,” Kandil stressed. “Filipinos who are more informed are better equipped to take action and to thrive. This is why we believe it’s crucial to move from awareness toward practical solutions that empower individuals to care for their mind health. Through tools like the AXA Mind Health Self-Check and comprehensive health plans that safeguard holistic well-being, we aim to be a trusted partner in that journey.”

Check out the AXA Mind Health Self-Check tool to access actionable self-care guides, tips, and advice that can help you build self-awareness and make informed decisions about your mental well-being. To support you beyond awareness, AXA’s health plans offer free mental health counseling, while its latest superior critical illness plan, Health Max Elite, provides coverage for select mental health conditions—helping safeguard your well-being at every stage.

They have become essential companions for creativity, productivity, and self-expression.  Designed to keep up with modern lifestyles, the vivo V60 delivers powerful performance, intelligent features, and professional-level imaging through its 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera. From content creation and mobile photography to gaming and everyday multitasking, the vivo V60 empowers users to capture, create, and connect with confidence. AI tools perfect for content creation Creating content on the go isn’t always perfect. Justine Teng, a fashion content creator, often encountered cluttered backgrounds and poorly lit shots when using her previous phone. “I used to spend so much time editing distractions out,” she shared. She chose the vivo V60 because of its AI tools designed to simplify shooting. One feature quickly became her favorite. “Poof! Nawala si kuya guard,” she said, referring to the V60’s AI Erase 3.0 feature, which allows unwanted elements to be removed effortlessly. She also highlights the phone’s night photography: “I was just playing with Night Mode, no extra edits needed thanks to vivo’s automatic AI enhancer.” Performance that keeps up Long gaming sessions, live chats with viewers, and constant multitasking are part of Altina Vibal’s daily routine. As a streamer and gamer, she relies heavily on her phone, and she knows how frustrating it can be when a device can’t keep up. She previously struggled with phones that overheated, lagged during games, or lost battery quickly during long sessions. “When you’re gaming or live, delays are frustrating,” she explained. She chose the vivo V60 for its smooth performance and reliability under heavy use. “I can game, chat, and switch apps without it slowing down,” she said. “It keeps up with me.” The vivo V60 is powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, which can handle heavy gaming. Thanks to its 12GB RAM and 12GB extended RAM, you play at high frame rates seamlessly. She also appreciates the design and the 6500mAh BlueVolt battery. “It’s powerful but still slim and comfortable to hold, even when I use it for hours.” Photography that feels natural For professional photographer Henrique Jose from Manila, timing is everything. However, carrying heavy gear everywhere isn’t always practical.  “There are moments you want to capture instantly,” he said. “You don’t always have your camera with you.” Curious about mobile photography, he explored shooting with the vivo V60 during his travels. “Japan trip x vivo V60,” he shared, documenting scenes using just the phone. He was impressed by how detailed and vibrant the photos turned out. What he appreciates most is the balance of quality and portability, allowing him to capture spontaneous moments with ease. Whether you are creating content, gaming for hours, or capturing beautiful memories on the move, the vivo V60 blends power, intelligence, and style into one seamless experience.
