The best way we can celebrate it is to make every day World Mental Health Day. Thanks for raising awareness chanelno5x :)
Well you’ve come to the right place to celebrate it ! ✌️😎
lol
Mental health has come to focus in pandemic times like never before as people of all age groups and occupations bear the brunt of the 'new normal'. Health and other frontline workers, students, people living alone, and those with pre-existing mental health conditions have been particularly affected.
World Mental Health Day provides an opportunity to talk about mental health in general, how to break the stigma around it, and the importance of speaking out when struggling with a mental health issue.
it's good Mental Health gets a little bit more attention nowadays :) I personally feel a lot of people underestimate the importance of Mental Health though...

Agreed. It's unfortunate when people do not pay attention to their own mental well-being. Also, it is grievious when the mental health of others is not properly acknowledge or mismanaged.
Why is it "mental health DAY" instead of "mental health WEEK"? You would think that things like this would get weeks instead of days.
Everyone go do some meditation on YouTube or some other app, I use headspace personally, it’s really helped my mental health
Indeecd a relevant thing to be remembered.
Music always helps me

So, if I've got this right, it looks like different countries might also have a "Mental Health Week" or "Mental Health Month" but World Mental Health Day is where we globally connect. Also, there may be seminars and events that lead up to World Mental Health Day to raise awareness.
Loving all of the comments about what you do to maintain a healthy mind: music, meditation, or using apps like headspace. These are all great healthy self-care activities!
@EscherehscE Playing chess, socializing, and having fun are all good things to do on chess.com . But, yeah, sometimes we need to take a break from it too.
