Today is world mental health day

This year’s theme Mental health in the workplace

Mental health is as important as our physical health, however because of our busy schedules we give very little attention towards our mental health.

Today October 10th is the world mental health day. And the theme for 2017 is ‘Mental health in the workplace’.

It has been scientifically proven that mental health plays a major role in our physical health and it’s important to pay attention to our mental health as well as our physical health. Only a healthy mind will lead to a healthy body.

Not only that we should also embrace people in our society with mental illnesses as a part of our society and treat them with respect and dignity, but also people should change their point of view on mental illnesses and think that mental illnesses are just like any other disease that we come across like flu and diabetes.

Still today there are places all over the country that house psychiatrically unwell people, some of them are abandoned by their family members, and are living from donations. There are also many institutions that provide social support and counselling to people who are having psychological problems, such as suicide prevention and curing drug addiction.

When it comes to the this year’s theme in world mental health day ‘Mental health in the workplace’, it’s is important to have a good work life balance and at the end of the day a workplace should be fun and should not be the cause of depression.

Educate people and spread the word about mental health and make sure you pay good attention towards your mental health as well.
