World Mental Health Day 2025: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies

Mental health is a vital part of our overall health, playing a key role in how we think, feel, and handle daily life. Unfortunately, it can be affected by everyday challenges arising from work, relationships, or lifestyle changes, as well as by sudden crises or disasters. During emergencies, mental well-being becomes even more crucial because stress, fear, and uncertainty can overwhelm coping abilities, making it harder to make decisions, care for oneself, or support others. Given the widespread lack of awareness and the stigma surrounding mental health, World Mental Health Day was established to raise awareness about mental health, reduce stigma, and remind everyone that caring for the mind is as important as caring for the body.

Common Symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

We all are immune to double check whether the car doors are locked, gas stoves are off, and iron is unplugged. But, a person suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) will have an urge to repeat his actions a number of times. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), this anxiety disorder has been ranked in the top 10 disabling illness that can interrupt in functioning of your normal routine and have an adverse effect on your quality of life. If someone is suffering from this disease, it becomes difficult for them to resist their thoughts, actions, even if he is aware that his behaviour is irrational. Just like an old cassette gets stuck in a record and the music keeps playing, similarly our brain stops at a particular thought or action. For instance, you might check the refrigerator door around 20 to 30 times to make sure it is closed.
