Granted, everyday should be a day where humanity continues to raise awareness and recognize that mental health is important and it exists.

Mental health challenges are not necessarily ones youre born with, often times they too develop. So Im imploring you all to take care of your mental health just like you take care of your physical health.

It is not always something to can readily see or detect.
Know that others exist that are different and may need a bit more support and attention in handling certain circumstances that may be taken for granted by typical mentally healthy people.

Share awareness. This comes from the human services professional in me. * +

Well maybe being fashionable means people are more aware and are actually getting diagnosed, as well as the help they need, rather than strutting around pretending theyre all good when theyre really not. * +

Yes, we are aware that in some third world countries mental illness is said to correlate with spirituality and/or evil.

Knowledge is power, had they the knowledge to see otherwise, it wouldnt be a practice. Therefore the ones who have access to be enlighten should.

That act of prayer and casting out demons in those countries are no different from first world countries saying its fashionable or ppl can just smile and be happy etc. Theyre both the same, ignorant. * +
