卫生部提醒公众在节日期间要友善待人，因为抑郁导致的自杀病例往往会增加。卫生部长Ted Herbosa指出，圣诞节可能因家庭分离和社会媒体比较等因素引发孤独和自杀念头。
尽管圣诞节是欢庆的时刻，但根据卫生部（DOH）的说法，对一些人来说，它可能引发孤独和自杀念头。该机构敦促公众友善并敏感体察他人的感受，以遏制与抑郁相关的自杀病例上升。
“有些人在圣诞节期间感到孤独。他们的家人不在身边，父亲在国外工作，”卫生部长Ted Herbosa表示。他解释说，在社交媒体时代，人们看到朋友发布快乐的家庭时刻，而自己的父母在海外工作，或无法从城市求学返回家乡，这加剧了孤立感。
受影响者还包括失业者、因火灾失去家园的人以及哀悼亲人逝世的人。“让我们都友善待人。让我们都敏感体察他人的感受。要友善……（我们应该分享）欢乐、幸福与和平，”Herbosa说道。
卫生部强调，心理健康问题与 fireworks 相关伤害以及其监测的非传染性疾病同样关键。Herbosa建议在节日期间开始记录心理健康报告，因为目前尚无此类监测。— Mayen Jaymalin
