World Mental Health Day: 10 October
World Mental Health Day
World Mental Health Day is observed every year on October 10 to raise awareness about mental health issues and promote efforts to support mental well-being across the world. Established by the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) and recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), the day aims to break the stigma surrounding mental illness and encourage open discussions about emotional health.
Each year, a specific theme is chosen to highlight different aspects of mental health, such as awareness, support, and access to care. On this day, organizations, schools, and communities organize workshops, campaigns, and discussions to spread awareness and promote understanding.
World Mental Health Day reminds everyone that mental health is just as important as physical health, and seeking help or talking about one’s feelings is a vital step toward overall well-being.
