Mental health affects everyone. Everyone has mental health, and everyone has a role to play in making sure that everyone else can also have it. Mental health is more than the presence or absence of illness. Mental health applies to every area of our everyday challenges, i.e., losing a job, starting a job, getting married or losing a loved one. Mental health should not be a service accessible by a few. The ability to do so should be within reach for all of us – regardless of age, gender, nationality, religion, or any other defining characteristic. As such, we all have a responsibility to work together in order to create change and tackle this important issue.

Mental Health: A Global Priority.

Mental health is a global priority. That means, it’s a priority for everyone, everywhere – no matter who we are, what we do, or where we live. It’s not just a priority for people living in ‘developed’ countries, but it’s also a priority for people living in ‘developing’ and ‘emerging’ economies. It’s everyone’s responsibility – regardless of their background – to work towards making mental health for all a global priority. After all, everyone has mental health, and everyone has a role to play in making sure that everyone else can also have it.

By the Year 2022, we will work towards making mental health for all a global priority.

We have come a long way from where we were a decade ago in terms of mental health. The United Nations General Assembly hosted a special summit on mental health earlier this year. The purpose of this summit was to discuss whether we’re on track to achieve the global goals for mental health, as well as to identify the next steps for promoting mental health for all. The United Nations declared that mental health for all is a global priority. In other words, we have 12 years to make mental health the priority it deserves to be.

Commit to action.

Most importantly, though, you need to commit to action. After all, you can’t create change if you don’t do anything. Instead, you need to make a conscious effort to do one of the following: – Educate yourself about mental health and the issues surrounding it – Talk about mental health using appropriate language – Make mental health a priority in your own life

Let's talk about mental health and well-being.

We have to let people know that it’s okay to have mental health issues. Talking about mental health is the first step towards removing the stigma that exists around it. Think about mental health as mental wellbeing of persons. We should normalize help seeking for mental health today more than ever. It’s important to remember that having a mental health issue doesn't make you any less of a person. It doesn’t mean that you’re a bad person or that you’re weak. As a matter of fact, mental health is not a moral condition. After all, everyone has mental health, and everyone has the ability to experience a mental health issue at some point in their life. – Let’s talk about mental health and wellbeing, as well as the importance of having both of these. – Let’s talk about the connection between mental health and physical health, as well as the importance of having both of these.

Help those with mental illness receive treatment and support.

It can be easy to distance yourself from the issue of mental health when you don’t know anyone who lives with it or when you allow the stigma associated with mental health affect you. After all, you don’t see those with mental illness every day – at least not in the same way that you see people who have physical illnesses like diabetes, cancer, or heart diseases. The conditions characteristic of mental health does not always manifest themselves as somatic conditions. As a result, it can be really easy to think, “This doesn’t affect me.” – But mental health does affect everyone. Everyone has mental health, and everyone has the ability to experience a mental illness. In fact, 1 in 4 people globally will be affected by mental illness at some point in their life. – That means that you likely already know someone who lives with mental illness. – Let’s help those who live with mental illness receive treatment and support.

Mental health affects everyone. Everyone has mental health, and everyone has a role to play in making sure that everyone else can also have it. It is not just a privileged few who have the ability to help make the world a place where all individuals are able to have and maintain good mental health.

As such, we all have a responsibility to work together in order to create change and tackle this important issue.
