Abstract
The mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are undeniable. In addition to record-high cases, hospitalisations, and deaths, the pandemic has given rise to increased rates of mental illness and an unprecedented demand for mental health services worldwide. Across the Western Pacific region, the number of people calling mental health helplines during the pandemic has increased four-fold in low-income countries such as the Philippines. High-income countries such as Australia have not been spared.
