World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day is observed on 10 October every year, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health.

Mental, neurological, and substance use disorders are common in all regions of the world, affecting every community and age group across all income countries. While 14% of the global burden of disease is attributed to these disorders, most of the people affected - 75% in many low-income countries - do not have access to the treatment they need.

The Day provides an 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.

Health is a relationship between you and your body.

Terri Guillemets

I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you’re in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.

Bob Barker

The first wealth is health.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the midst of these hard times it is our good health and good sleep that are enjoyable.

Knute Nelson

Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca
