Adult friendships require grace. People are busy. People are healing. People are growing. People are taking time for self-care just like you. Don't mistake less communication for less love. Check in, not out.

Today, as we mark #WorldMentalHealthDay, let’s remember: Mental health is not a luxury for calm times. It’s a lifeline—especially in crisis. And the time to act… is now.

I often recall a patient I met after a road traffic accident. Physically stable. But emotionally shattered. He survived, but felt broken. That encounter taught me: Healing is never just physical. We must rebuild minds, not just bodies.

This year’s WMHD theme—mental health in catastrophes and emergencies—is a call to act: 🌍 Include mental health in all disaster preparedness. 💪 Build community resilience. 🧩 Strengthen cross-sector coordination. 💰 Fund long-term, not just emergency, responses.

A year later, that call hasn’t faded—it’s grown louder. Because today, we’re reminded that in every catastrophe—conflict, pandemic, or natural disaster—mental health becomes the silent casualty.

Our call to action was simple yet urgent: ✅ Integrate mental health into primary care. ✅ Expand the mental health workforce. ✅ Build community-based psychosocial support. ✅ Tackle stigma. ✅ Ensure sustainable funding.

We found that Nigeria—and much of Africa—faces a paradox: immense mental health needs, yet minimal resources. 1 psychiatrist for over 1 million people. Underfunded facilities. Persistent stigma. The gap between need and access remains vast.

World Mental Health Day 2025: “Access to services — Mental health in catastrophes and emergencies.” Over a year ago, my team and I published a paper: 📰 “Mental Health Challenges in Nigeria: Bridging the Gap Between Demand and Resources.” Its message still echoes louder today.
