Every year on October 10, the world comes together to observe World Mental Health Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues and promoting the importance of emotional well-being for everyone. Established by the World Federation for Mental Health in 1992, this global observance encourages open conversations about mental health, challenges stigma, and advocates for accessible support systems for all individuals—regardless of age, background, or circumstance.
The theme for World Mental Health Day 2025 centers around the idea that “Mental health is a universal human right.” This message reminds us that mental wellness is not a privilege—it’s something every person deserves. Whether it’s through access to counseling, community support, or simply being able to talk about one’s struggles without fear of judgment, mental health care should be available and respected everywhere.
