Move On Mental Health – The World Mental Health Day

Move On Mental Health - The World Mental Health DayInternational Mental Health Day is traditionally celebrated on 10 October annually. This year, the World Health Organization has designated the theme of the holiday as “Mental Health in the Workplace”.

For a modern person and society as a whole, mental health, performance and quality of life are inseparable concepts that determine overall health and the usefulness of both individual and social life. Professional activity is the most important sphere of human life, and professional identity practically everywhere acts as the basis of personal identity, thereby determining the entire hierarchy of needs and spiritual meanings of each individual person and the whole society. In this regard, the professional status of an individual, the level of professional competence and work capacity to a large extent affect both an objective assessment of the social significance of each of us and self-esteem.

In some developed countries, depression and other mental disorders are the main causes of disability and absenteeism. Mental illness leads to more absenteeism from work days compared to chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma, arthritis, and a number of others. In the United States, mental disorders are the second leading cause of temporary disability and the third leading cause of permanent disability in the working-age population.

Today, on the eve of World Mental Health Day, we invite you to get acquainted with materials dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of mental health, prevention of mental disorders in the workplace.
