Bump for World Mental Health Day.
Quote:
While there is a World ‘Day’ for almost everything, today – World Mental Health Day – feels particularly significant and worthy of attention.
Mental health problems are one of the main causes of disease burden worldwide.
In the UK approximately one in four people will experience a mental health problem each year.
And one in six report experiencing one of the most common problems, such as anxiety and depression, in any given week.
Days like today at the very least, bring global attention to an important conversation and provide an opportunity for people to share and speak up more publicly about their own experiences.
In our increasingly online and social media-filled world, the necessity for people to hear the raw truth of what is really going on has become somewhat of a lifeline. Humans need to create meaning around their experiences to make sense of their lives and stories enable us to do so.
