World Mental Health Day is observed every year on October 10 to raise awareness about mental wellbeing, reduce stigma, and promote access to mental health care globally. Established in 1992 by the World Federation for Mental Health, the day has become a global movement supported by the World Health Organization (WHO). The 2025 theme, “Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” emphasises ensuring psychological support during crises such as wars, pandemics, and natural disasters. The observance highlights mental health as a fundamental human right and encourages collective action for inclusive and accessible care worldwide.
