Filepic/The Star.

THE theme of the 2026 World Mental Health Day (observed worldwide on Oct 10), “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change”, reinforces the importance of listening to individuals with experience of living with mental health challenges.

This is particularly relevant for older adults whose mental well-being can be overlooked in discussions on healthy ageing.
