As directed by the Uttarakhand State Legal Services Authority, Nainital, and the Honorable District Judge, Dehradun, Mr. Prem Singh Khimal, a Mental Health Day celebration was held today, October 10, 2025, on the occasion of World Mental Health Day at the State Mental Health Institute, Selaqui, Dehradun. Mrs. Seema Dungarakoti, Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, Dehradun, also participated. On this occasion, the Secretary explained the importance of mental health and pointed out that mental health is as important as physical health, but we often neglect it. Today’s hectic life and competition have a profound impact on people’s minds, leading to stress, depression, and anxiety. In such situations, people need empathy, understanding, and treatment. We must resolve to openly discuss mental health. Don’t let anyone feel alone in their pursuit of mental health. Listen to your heart, as mental health is a person’s true strength. On this occasion, a cultural programme was also presented by the patients of the State Mental Health Institute, which was commendable and the Buransh organization also made people aware about mental health through street plays.
