As we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week, here are some shocking FACTS:
👉🏽 Did you know that mental illness is the 2nd biggest health problem in the world?
👉🏽 800,000 people die of suicide every year. That’s ONE DEATH every 40 seconds! (Someone is choosing to end their lives as you are reading this right now!) 😣
👉🏽 1 in 4 people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives.
👉🏽 Anxiety and depressive disorders have increased by 41% during covid-19.
👉🏽 The stigma around mental illness is still strong in most communities.

Mental illnesses are as REAL as physical diseases such as heart disease or cancer. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean the pain isn’t REAL. 😪
.
Most of the times, we are afraid to speak out and seek help because we are fearful of how people may view us. 🤐 You don’t have to struggle in silence. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. And NO, you are not weak for seeking help. You are STRONG for getting help, overcoming your struggles and fight through the discriminations that you might have to deal with.
.
If you’re reading this right now and you are struggling within, I hope you will reach out and seek help. If you know someone who’s going through a tough time, do reach out to him/her.

📚 p/s I really enjoy studying for my MSc in Psychological Medicine / Mental Health. It’s something I’ve wanted to pursue for a long time as I truly believe that total well-being is a complete integration of physical exercise, nutrition AND mental health. Looking forward to sharing some of the knowledge with all of you through my videos! 🙌
