World Mental Health Day, observed on October 10th each year, is a vital reminder of the importance of mental well-being in our lives. In a world where physical health often takes the spotlight, it is crucial to recognise that mental health is equally significant. This day provides an opportunity to spread awareness, reduce stigma, and promote a global conversation around mental health issues.
