National Mental Health Awareness Week is an annual event, which provides an opportunity for the whole of the world to focus on achieving good mental health. The Mental Health Foundation in the U.K. started the event 21 years ago. A couple of years down the line, World Mental Health Day was observed for the first time on October 10, 1992. It was started as an annual activity of the World Federation for Mental Health by the then Deputy Secretary-General Richard Hunter. The day is officially commemorated every year on October 10.

In the beginning, National Mental Health Awareness Week had no specific theme. Its aims were quite general in terms of promoting mental health advocacy and educating the public on relevant mental health issues. But after a few years, a theme was allocated to every Mental Health Awareness Week. The event has grown to become one of the biggest awareness campaigns globally.

Mental Health Awareness Week is open to each individual. It is all about starting conversations about mental health and the things in our daily lives that can affect our sanity.The week is also a chance to talk about any aspect of mental health that people want to, regardless of the theme.

Mental Health is considered a big taboo in many under-developed or developing countries.
