Browsing: World Mental health Day

In Nigeria, mental health stigma continues to hinder progress in addressing mental health issues, amplifying the struggles faced by the estimated 20% of the population dealing with these conditions. The stigma not only fuels negative perceptions but also reinforces harmful stereotypes, leading to increased discrimination against those affected.

Since its inception in 1992, World Mental Health Day has been observed annually on October 10 to promote awareness about mental health issues worldwide.
