But there are a lot of stigmas attached to it. Also many do not understand its signs and symptoms due to lack of awareness, and hence people suffering from depression aren’t able to seek help at the right time. With the objective of raising awareness of mental health issues, World Mental Health Week is observed every year to coincide with World Mental Health Day on October 10. The event is observed to spread awareness and mobilize efforts in support of mental health. The theme for the day this year is ‘psychological first aid’.
