History
World Mental Health Day was first observed on October 10, 1992 as an annual activity of World Federation for Mental Health.
The day initially did not have a specific theme and its aim was to promote mental health advocacy and educating the public on relevant issues.

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.
