When compared to physical health, people are giving less attention to mental health, said district panchayat president K.V. Addressing the inauguration of the World Mental Health Day celebrations organised by the Health and Family Welfare Department here, he said people in Kerala have changed and they have forgotten to be humane. “These repeated incidents should be taken seriously and collective effort should be made to improve mental health and eliminate the stigma,” he pointed. Jayabalan, district panchayat Member Ajith Mattool and Deputy District Medical Officer K.T. Latheesh, and District Mental Health Officer Vishal Rajendran were present.
