World Federation for Mental Health
[By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA CMP™]
World Mental Health Day was established in 1992 by the World Federation for Mental Health.
In some countries around the world, it forms just one part of the larger Mental Illness Awareness Week.
A Range of Issues
Mental health problems, ranging from issues like depression and anxiety disorders to conditions like schizophrenia, affect millions of people around the world.
In fact, according to current statistics, 1 in 4 people will experience some kind of mental health problem during their lifetime and many more will see friends of family members affected.
The Cause
The purpose of World Mental Health Day is to raise awareness of mental health issues, increase education on the topic and attempt to eliminate the stigma attached. It is hoped that this, in turn, will encourage sufferers to seek help and support.
