WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY

Every year on October 10th, people throughout the world observe World Mental Health Day to increase awareness of mental health concerns and encourage mental wellness. It seeks to lessen the stigma associated with mental illness, offer assistance, and promote better mental health services. The goal of the day is to promote open dialogue, education, and resources that will help people and communities all around the world have better mental health.

At the World Federation for Mental Health's suggestion, World Mental Health Day was first marked on October 10th, 1992. It was started in order to spread awareness of mental health problems, encourage mental wellness, and fight for better mental health services around the world. Since that time, it has developed into an annual event with a different topic relating to mental health.

The theme for World Mental Health Day in 2023 is "Mental health is a universal human right," a reminder to everyone in the world to raise awareness, advance understanding, and inspire activities that promote and protect everyone's mental health as a fundamental human right.

World Mental Health Day is extremely important because it dispels the stigma associated with mental health issues and increases awareness of these problems.
