World Mental Health Day – scaling up investment in mental health
“World Mental Health Day is an opportunity for the world to come together and begin redressing the historic neglect of Mental Health. We are already seeing the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s mental well-being, and this is just the beginning” says WHO Director-General Dr Tedros.
Mental health is one of the most neglected areas of public health. Close to 1 billion people are living with a mental disorder, 3 million people die every year from the harmful use of alcohol and one person dies every 40 seconds by suicide. And now, billions of people around the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which is having a further impact on people’s mental health.
Yet, relatively few people around the world have access to quality mental health services. In low- and middle-income countries, more than 75% of people with mental, neurological and substance use disorders receive no treatment for their condition at all. Furthermore, stigma, discrimination, punitive legislation and human rights abuses are still widespread.
The limited access to quality, affordable mental health care in the world before the pandemic, and particularly in humanitarian emergencies and conflict settings, has been further diminished due to COVID-19 as the pandemic has disrupted health services around the world. Primary causes have been infection and the risk of infection in long-stay facilities such as care homes and psychiatric institutions; barriers to meeting people face-to-face; mental health staff being infected with the virus; and the closing of mental health facilities to convert them into care facilities for people with COVID-19.
That’s why, for this year’s World Mental Health Day, WHO, together with partner organizations, United for Global Mental Health and the World Federation for Mental Health, is calling for a massive scale-up in investment in mental health. To encourage public action around the world, a World Mental Health Day campaign, Move for mental health: let’s invest will kick off in September.

No chance it's now we need to serve with pandemic covid 19
the world health organization should take a five minute brake from the coronavirus and try classify those who get offended by everything as mentally ill.
last week I was watching a video about a woman who was offended by the fact that the average man is taller than the average woman.these people belong to a mental asylum.
Bhaiyu kya kh ra u koi batyega hindi me
Sir, here in India the government is forcing us to sit for exams during this pandemic. We don't want to risk the lives our families as here most of the families are joint families. And moreover there's flood and our transport system is also inadequate.
We are getting mentally depressed. Too much that more than 30 students committed suicide. Please if you can address this issue…please save us.
The CONJOB19 controllervirus plandemic is part of The Great Reset (World Economic Forum) and the UN Agenda 2030 new world order. Also see Rockefeller’s Lockstep. RESIST these evil globalists!
It's really a poor statement that it took a global pandemic to put more ressources into helping some of the most vulnerable amongst us but oh well
Sir,,, please share the VACCINE .. we don’t need your STATEMENT, as always repeat…. WE NEED VACCINE SIR
E o lockdown da OMS prejudicou bastante a saúde mental das pessoas tb, sr.
The noisy, non-stop world continues to spin. For a nanosecond: Stop. Breathe. Inventory, Survey, & Assess. Find True North. Reboot. Replenishing one’s own oxygen provides the strength to assist another replenish theirs.

WHO went to China to investigate the origins of the coronavirus and DID NOT EVEN GO TO WUHAN!!!!
At our chosen time we will reveal that COVID was actually the common cold. You low lives are so gullible.
Why are you not investigating the wuhan lab?
Covid scam
Necessity is the argument of Tyrants (like this guy) and its the creed of slaves. Slaves being the blind sheep wearing masks believing the governments. The same governments who always lie to us. George Washington once said, "Government is not eloquence its not reason its force and like fire its a dangerous servant and a fearful master".
I know you are smart.. because of this. in the future we will not do local gathering as our part of the traditional culture. I think because of you too late and there is no action. I wish you can do as soon as possible with the vaccine.. and others part is we will die because I could not able to eat and drink. HAS BEEN 8 months, you just repeat almost the fucking topic… soon we will die because of this situation….
He needs to go.
Corona finish this guy .. he is too much
W.H.O is corrupt to the core,kneeling to china
this guy is the real virus bastard
WHO and the government want to talk about mental health but at the same time enslave humanity with quarantines, lockdowns, mask wearing and provoke a new rise in germaphobic people, an epidemic in unemployment, homelessness and suicides… How can anyone listen to these hypocrites?
Trump needs a evaluation ASAP!!!
WHO please help
