The theme of this year’s World Mental Health Day 2023 is "Mental health is a universal human right." The purpose of this theme is to improve knowledge, raise awareness and drive actions that promote and protect everyone’s mental health as a universal human right, says WHO.

Our mental health is an invisible force that controls our thoughts, feelings, emotions and the way we react or respond to situations. The basics of sound mental health are easy to follow, but not prioritised by many. Taking care of our mental health is an act of self-love. Every human being deserves to prioritize their well-being.

Let’s vow to keep the conversation going about mental health and work towards a world where seeking help is encouraged and supported.
