Happy World Mental Health Day 2023: Embracing Well-Being for All

Today, we join hands globally to celebrate World Mental Health Day 2023, a day dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues, reducing stigma, and promoting mental well-being for everyone. This year’s theme, "Mental Health in an Unequal World," emphasizes the need to address the growing disparities in mental health care and support across different communities and regions.

Mental health is an integral part of our overall well-being, influencing how we think, feel, and act. It affects every aspect of our lives, from our relationships and work to our physical health. On World Mental Health Day, we acknowledge the challenges many people face in achieving good mental health due to various factors such as socio-economic conditions, cultural stigmas, and limited access to mental health services.

The 2023 theme highlights the stark inequalities in mental health support and care. Many individuals and communities, especially in low-income regions, lack adequate resources and support systems. These disparities can lead to severe consequences, including untreated mental health conditions and a higher prevalence of mental health crises.

By focusing on this theme, we aim to:


Raise Awareness: Educate the public about the existing inequalities in mental health care and the urgent need to address them.
Advocate for Change: Encourage policymakers, organizations, and governments to invest more in mental health services and create inclusive support systems.
Empower Communities: Provide tools and resources to communities to support mental well-being and advocate for their own needs.

On this day, various activities and events are organized globally to promote mental health awareness and support. These include:


Workshops and Seminars: Educational sessions focusing on mental health literacy, coping strategies, and stress management.
Public Talks: Influential speakers and mental health advocates share their stories and insights to inspire and educate.
Community Gatherings: Local events where communities can come together to discuss mental health issues and support one another.
Online Campaigns: Social media initiatives and virtual events to reach a broader audience, spreading awareness and sharing resources.

There are several ways you can get involved and make a difference:


Educate Yourself and Others: Learn about mental health issues and share this knowledge with your friends, family, and community.
Advocate for Better Services: Support policies and initiatives that aim to improve mental health care and reduce inequalities.
Support Mental Health Organizations: Volunteer your time or donate to organizations working towards better mental health support.
Practice Self-Care: Prioritize your own mental health by practicing self-care and seeking help if needed.

As we celebrate World Mental Health Day 2023, let us commit to making mental health a priority for all. By addressing the inequalities and working towards a more inclusive and supportive world, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to achieve mental well-being.

Happy World Mental Health Day 2023! Together, we can create a world where mental health is recognized, respected, and supported for everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances. Let’s continue to raise our voices, support each other, and work towards a brighter, healthier future.

There are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of sexual intercourse.  There is often significant emotional trauma associated with sexual immorality and it usually manifest itself in a variety of ways including the development of a soul tie.  Soul ties are exactly what they sound like. They are ties from one person’s soul to another person’s soul.  According to 1 Thessalonians 5:23, man is made up of three parts: spirit, soul and body.  Soul ties are intimate bonds to another human being.  1 Corinthians 6:12-20 says:

There are some real consequences to spending too much time on social media. Studies show we are carrying around little dopamine stimulators in our pockets and are expecting entertainment. It’s no surprise social media makes us bad at multitasking and distracts us from optimum productivity and performance. The same study shows we’re so addicted to dopamine release from social media interaction that we create phantom vibration syndrome — we feel like our phones are buzzing even though they’re not.

Scientists suggest using less social media leads to a significant decrease in both depression and loneliness. Viewing someone else’s curated and impeccable life online, makes it easy for you to see their perfect pictures and think their lives are better than yours. The main reason for feeling depressed after spending too much time on social networks is due to comparison.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder according to Mayo Clinic is mental disorder when an individual has an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for their admiration. Those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder believe they are superior to everyone else and have little regard for other people’s feelings. Interestingly behind this massive mask of ultra confidence lies the most fragile self-esteem vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

Today’s world is highly narcissistic visibly the “look at me” mentality promoted by social networks like Facebook, Instagram, etc. People are enamored by the image they present to the world. Professor Bushman of Ohio State University says narcissists are very bad relationship partners.

In a narcissistic relationship, your partner is most likely going to engage in manipulative or game playing behaviors and less likely to commit long-term.

Mental health is about the way you think, feel and behave. This refers to your cognitive, emotional and behavioral wellbeing. Absence of this wellbeing can lead to a mental disorder.

Everyone is at risk of developing a mental disorder regardless of their age, sex, income or ethnicity.

Mental health can affect daily living, relationships and physical health. This link works in both ways, factors in your daily life, interpersonal connections and your physical health can as well affect your mental wellbeing.

Looking after one’s mental health is one way to preserve your ability to enjoy life while keeping a balance between life activities, responsibilities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience.
