In India, 1 student dies of suicide every hour. The prime reason behind this is the lack of #awareness regarding 'mental health' and empathy towards people who are dealing with mental illness.
Everyone has mental health, just like everyone has health. As the World Health Organization famously says, “There is no health without mental health.” Mental health is as important as physical health for our general well-being.
In the course of a lifetime, not all people will experience a #mentalillness, but everyone will struggle or have a challenge with their mental well-being (i.e., their mental health) just like we all have challenges with our physical well-being from time to time.
September 6-12 is observed as Suicide Prevention Week. It is an annual week-long campaign to inform and engage #health professionals and the general public about suicide prevention and warning signs of suicide. Let's join hands to support #MentalHealth, #MentalWellness and extend a helping hand towards someone who is #suicidal. #awareness #mentalillness #health #MentalHealth #MentalWellness #suicidal
