This is the theme for this year’s World Mental Health Day which is celebrated on October 10 every year. United Nations gave the slogan “Mental Health care for all: let’s make it a reality”.
The slogan shows the global need for a proper mental health care system. It also acknowledges that access to mental well-being tools is still a dream for many. The primary aim of celebrating mental health day is to spread awareness on mental stability issues. With the increase in population, the need for mental health professionals is also on the rise.
It is not surprising that mental disorders like depression and anxiety across all age groups are on a high. The need to do something about them has become paramount. When we talk about mental stability we not only talk about disorders and mental illnesses but we also focus on how we can handle the problems like everyday work-related stress and worry.
The pandemic has emphasized the need for mental health resources. Still, there are some topics that we need to pay heed to. Which we focused on.
Words that we need to understand when it comes to mental health resources are-
Stigma
Accessibility
Affordability
Acceptability
Don’t neglect your mental health for it is too valuable.
