10 October is World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day is observed every year on 10 October globally for global mental health education, awareness, and advocacy against social stigma.

The World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) established World Mental Health Day in 1992 and broadcast a two-hour telecast across the globe for the first three years to promote mental health.

The theme for World Mental Health Day 2021 is ‘Mental health in an unequal world’.
