This year’s theme is: “It’s time to prioritise mental health in the workplace.”

In addition, Remi Tinubu noted that emotions bottled up can lead to mental health issues.

She said: “Today, I join the rest of the world to commemorate the Mental Health Awareness Day.

“This year’s theme ‘It’s Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace’ is timely especially in times like this when most people feel dissatisfied at the work place for several reasons, that could affect one’s mental wellbeing.

“Emotions bottled up is the beginning of mental health issues and challenges that confront individuals.

“If there were no fears of stigmatization, people will tend to speak openly about their struggles, thus leading to early diagnosis thereby improving recovery outcomes.

“With love and support, mental health issues will be drastically reduced within and outside the work place.
