World Mental Health Day- October 10th

October 13, 2023

The World Mental Health Day is observed on October 10^th every year.
The World Mental Health Day was founded by the WFMH, led by Richard Hunter, the deputy secretary-general at the time, in 1992.
It is observed to create an awareness about mental illness and to start a discussion on mental health issues like borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, etc. and provide those who suffer from it a safe space and comfort to be able to openly accept and address such issues.
The theme for World Mental Health Day 2023 “Mental health is a universal human right” provides an opportunity for individuals and communities to come together to deal with mental health issues.
