Mental health is a fundamental component of overall health and individual well-being, and for that reason, it is also a structural pillar of social, cultural, and economic progress in society. It is also a highly sensitive indicator of the growing impact of economic crises, epidemics, climate change, and social inequalities.
On July 1st, we aim to reflect on mental health, with a special focus on its effects on society, the stigma it carries, and the phenomenon of suicide.
