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.

Please help me. This problem has been bugging me for the past month.


In 1972, I had a very close friend but for some reason, our relationship didn’t bloom into love. After 30 years, our paths crossed again through the Internet. We are now in our mid-forties and are both happily married. I have three teenagers and my husband has been working in Dubai for almost 20 years now.
