World Mental Health Day
World Mental Health Day: October 10
World Mental Health Day raises public awareness about mental health issues. The day, designated by WHO, promotes open discussion of mental disorders and investments in prevention, promotion, and treatment services. The treatment gap for mental, neurological, and substance use disorders is formidable, especially in poor resource countries.
