10th OCTOBER of every year is, WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY.

2022 THEME is,
“MAKE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING FOR A GLOBAL PRIORITY”.

Is a day used for raising awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health.

It also provides opportunity for all stakeholders working on mental health issues to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make mental health care a reality for people worldwide.
One in every eight person has mental health issues.

Mental health care needs deep commitments, engagements and investments from Governments, Communities, Individuals and all Stakeholders in all Sectors.
Sufferers should be able to access, afford quality services and supports at all time.

We must stop Stigmatisation and discrimination so that more people suffering from mental health can come out to seek for help.

Mental health is bedevilled with lack of funding expecially in developing or low income countries such as Nigeria.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, more crisis was created in the mental health sector due to abandonment, this led to stress. Anxiety and depressive disorders rose to about 25% during the 1st year of COVID-19 pandemic due to treatment disruptions.

The Social and Economic Inequalities, Long unending Conflicts, Violence And Public health Emergencies, led to about 84 Million people worldwide being forcibly displaced. The result is more people being anxious, depressed and confused about basic needs such as Shelter, Food and Clothing etc.
Please be your brothers keeper by lending a shoulder to someone going through one form of life issues.

Congratulations to those who have been able to fight and survive depression and other Related mental health problems all over the world. You are the Heroes of Today.
