Today, October 10, 2025, the global community observes World Mental Health Day. This day serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of psychological wellbeing and its inseparable connection to a person’s physical health.
The Importance of Mental Health in the Modern World
In recent years, particularly under martial law and continuous stress, the issue of mental health has gained extraordinary significance. Psychological wellbeing is not just the absence of mental disorders; it is a state where a person can realize their potential, cope with everyday life stressors, work productively, and contribute to their community.
Specialists at Sumy State University, particularly the Department of Neurosurgery and Neurology with courses in Psychiatry and Medical Psychology, emphasize that caring for one’s mental health should become a daily practice, not just a reaction to a crisis.
How to Maintain Your Mental Health
Experts urge everyone to pay attention to simple, yet effective steps:
Sleep and Nutrition: Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and a balanced diet are the foundation of a stable emotional state
Physical Activity: Regular exercise significantly lowers stress levels and improves mood
Social Support: Maintaining connections with family and friends and engaging in communication are powerful protective factors
Stress Management: Utilizing relaxation techniques, meditation, or hobbies helps to effectively cope with tension
Time to Talk About Seeking Help
If you or your loved ones experience anxiety, constant fatigue, apathy, or other signs of prolonged stress, do not hesitate to seek professional help. Modern psychiatry and psychotherapy offer effective methods of support and treatment.
Let’s remember: by investing in our mental health, we invest in our future and the future of our country.
