Today is world mental health day, the very fact that we have a day to raise awareness of the pain and suffering some people experience goes to show how far we have developed. There once was a time when mental Health would be merely overlooked and people would be left to suffer in silence. There are still so many people out there suffering, whether its ongoing illness or new illness, everybody reserves the right to fair unbiased treatment and help, maybe Im Being idealistic, but I like to hope that one day mental illness will be taken just as seriously as physical. Mental illness is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, some people just need building up again to become as strong as they once were before. 1/4 of the population will experience some form of mental health problem over the course of the year, with 8-12% of the population experiencing depression each year. So even if youve just read this status and arent going to post anything today, youve already played your role in such an important day, youve learnt something new and hopefully today a lot of naive minds can be changed and educated!
