According to the WHO, the rise in mental health conditions has gone up as 13% in the last decade, with 1 in 5 adults suffering a mental illness, some eventually leading to suicide. People afflicted with mental illness experience difficulty in coping with the demands in their daily lives, with their family, peers, community, and work relationships. This person can be your mother, father, siblings, friends, or co-workers.
Acknowledging the significant role of mental health and maintaining mental wellness, helps shed a light on mental health education and increase awareness on the support and care for those in need. A mentally healthy person can cope and carry on with the demands of everyday life, thus can contribute positively to his community.
