Erase stigma of mental illness

AS World Mental Health Day is celebrated today under the theme “Dignity in Mental Health”, let us focus on the need to initiate more community-based activities and programmes to promote good mental health in the community.

Mental health is not about the insane; it is something we all need. It is a feeling of well-being and happiness, the ability to cope with life’s many challenges, to accept others and, most of all, to have a positive attitude towards oneself.
