Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay 🌎 Mental health isn’t just a piece of the puzzle; it’s at the core of our well-being, a human right. Yet, over 970 million individuals worldwide struggle with mental health disorders, affecting more than 10% of the global population. In the light of this – and combined with the renewed political efforts in Denmark, we’re proud to raise awareness on this important topic by launching an updated version of our publication on the Danish approach to mental health. In addition to fresh statistics, the updated publication offers two brand new chapters about the latest Danish development in the field, including Denmark’s comprehensive 10-year plan for psychiatry and mental health and the role of public-private partnerships in fostering a healthier society through multi-sector collaboration.

Mental health awareness has come a long way, and understanding its history helps us appreciate the progress we've made. 🕰️ 🧠 Ancient Roots: Mental health issues have been recognized for millennia, with ancient civilizations attributing them to supernatural causes. 🏛️ Middle Ages: During this period, mental illness was often misunderstood, leading to stigma and marginalization. 🔬 18th Century: The Age of Enlightenment marked a shift towards viewing mental health through a medical lens, emphasizing humane treatment. 🏥 19th Century: Asylums were established, but conditions were often deplorable. Advocacy for reform gained momentum. 💡 20th Century: The 20th century saw significant advancements in psychiatry, medications, and psychotherapy. Deinstitutionalization efforts began. 🌍 21st Century: Today, mental health awareness has grown exponentially. We're breaking stigmas, promoting open conversations, and prioritizing mental well-being. 🤝 Let's Keep Progressing: Mental health awareness is a journey, and we all play a part. Together, we can continue to foster understanding, compassion, and support. 💙 #MentalHealthAwareness #HistoryOfMentalHealth #BreakTheStigma
