10 October 2025 is World Mental Health Day, and on this day, we raise awareness of mental health struggles faced by millions around the world. The day provides an opportunity to mobilise efforts in support of mental health.
What is Mental health?
It is a state of mental well-being that allows us to manage the pressures of life, make use of our abilities, and contribute to our communities. It has essential value and is integral to our well-being.
Although most people are resilient, those living in adverse conditions such as poverty, violence, disability and discrimination are at a greater risk of developing a mental health disorder.
People with mental health conditions often face stigma, discrimination and human rights violations.
Most mental health conditions can be effectively treated at relatively low cost. Consult your local pharmacist about mental health and how to manage mental health.
We all have a duty to protect our own mental health and the responsibility of making sure we don’t harm the mental health of others. By working together, we can make the world a much better place to deal with the pressures of life.
