Every year on October 10th, people all over the world observe World Mental Health Day. This day was created in 1992 by the World Federation for Mental Health. This is a global organization dedicated to promoting mental health education and advocacy.

The goal of this day and organization was to bring attention to mental health issues that usually go unnoticed. This day is to encourage people to open up conversations in order to reduce the discrimination shown against mental health.
