The World
Mental health day is celebrated on October 11. World Mental Health Day is
celebrated to create public awareness about mental health and related issues. The
day invites us to promote open discussion of mental disorders, and investments
in prevention, promotion, rehabilitation and treatment services. This year the
theme for the day is “Depression: A Global Crisis”.
Depression affects more than 350 million people
of all ages, in all communities, and is a significant contributor to the global
burden of disease. Although there are known effective treatments for
depression, access to treatment is a problem in most countries and in some
countries fewer than 10% of those who need it receive such treatment.
On this day I met divorced lady. Looking happy and smart yet what made her to
go for divorce? The answer came from the relatives, depression.
Depression is a global problem. It is seen in all people of all walks of life.
Parents speak of it of their young children. Thanks to the generous souls who care
for such people in the rehabilitation centre and even at home.
