October 10th - World Mental Health Day


October 10 is considered the International Mental Health Day worldwide. Every year on 10 October, organisations draw attention to the promotion of the mental health of adults, the elderly, children and young people with information stands, lectures and campaigns. Furthermore, the Day of Mental Health offers to inform about mental illnesses and to express solidarity with the mentally ill and their relatives.


Mental Health Day was established in 1992 by the World Mental Health Association (WFMH) together with the World Health Organization (WHO). Each year, WHO identifies a priority theme for Mental Health Day.

Mental health in Switzerland


Almost 17 percent of the Swiss population suffers from one or more mental illnesses, according to the third monitoring report of the Swiss Health Observatory (Obsan, 2012). Mental illnesses are among the most common, very limiting and economically significant diseases of all. They can affect all areas of life of those affected and lead to major impairments. In addition, they cause high economic costs. It is estimated that more than CHF 7 billion will be made annually. (Mental Health in Switzerland – Inventory and Fields of Action, FOPH/GDK/Health Promotion Switzerland, 2015)


In Switzerland, there will be a wide range of activities on 10 October by cantonal specialist offices, other actors in the field of mental health and psychological-psychiatric services. They inform the population about mental health, raise awareness of its value and importance and encourage their care.
