World Mental Health Day is commemorated today

(FASTNEWS | COLOMBO) –   World Mental Health Day is commemorated today, October 10.

The theme for this year’s World Mental Health Day is “Make mental health and well-being for all a worldwide priority.”

Authorities have organised and created a number of programmes to raise awareness of mental health concerns, their consequences on those who are affected, and the lives of those who care for them.

The Ministry of Health has since recommended those who are dealing with mental health problems or those who are caring for them to call the authorities at the 1926 hotline number for assistance.
