World Mental Health Day (10 October) is an international day for global mental health education, awareness, and advocacy against social stigma. It was first celebrated in 1992 at the initiative of the World Federation for Mental Health, a global mental health organization with members and contacts in more than 150 countries. [source: Wiki]

      Love the quote, "Remember, you are enough! So, take care of yourself!".

       

      I think the 'When talking about suicide, avoid using these words' is a bit one sided.

      The Mental Health elephant in the room that everyone ignores is Antisocial Personality Disorder (which is probably a spectrum kinda like autism).  It really is imperative that we, collectively, find ways to be prosocially intolerant of existing antisocial values, rituals and behaviors in our culture.  And proactively prevent new ones from being adopted.

      Utopia and Dystopia are two sides of the same coin.  One is said to be unattainable because it is Perfection.  The other is unattainable because it is Self Destruction.  The only practical assessment is which one should we be trending toward.

        It provides an opportunity for people to come together and discuss mental health openly, aiming to reduce stigma and promote understanding.
