World Mental Health Day, celebrated annually on October 10th, serves as a crucial reminder of the often-overlooked importance of mental well-being. This year’s theme, “Mental Health at Work,” underscores the urgent need to address mental health within professional environments. In Pakistan, the prevalence of mental health issues is alarmingly high, with an estimated 20 million people affected. For a developing country like Pakistan, where the workforce is already strained due to economic pressures, addressing mental health at work is critical. On this World Mental Health Day, the message is clear: mental health at work must become a priority.
