Mental Health & Mental Illness
In 2019, an estimated 970 million people worldwide—about 1 in 8 individuals—were living with a mental health disorder, with anxiety and depression being the most common.
Mental health is an essential part of our overall well-being. It empowers us to manage life's challenges, recognize our strengths, learn and grow, work productively, and contribute positively to our communities. Good mental health is key to making decisions, building meaningful relationships, and shaping the world around us. It is a basic human right that plays a critical role in personal and community development, as well as in our socio-economic progress.

Whispa2me & Overcoming Stigma
While effective prevention and treatment options are available, many people with mental health conditions do not have access to the care they need. In addition to barriers to care, individuals living with mental illness often face stigma and discrimination, which can further isolate them and violate their human rights.
Psychosocial support is vital for managing mental health challenges and improving quality of life. Supportive communities, understanding, and proper care are key elements in the journey to wellness.
The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013-2020 underscores the importance of mental health in achieving overall health and well-being for everyone. By providing education, eliminating stigma, and promoting access to care, we can work together to ensure that mental health is treated with the care, respect, and attention it deserves.
