On the occasion of World Mental Health day yesterday, Friends of the mentally ill here in Grenada made a plea to the Government, to invest more in improving the lives of persons affected by mental illness.
Grenada joined with the rest of the world in observing World Mental Health day; with the theme “Mental Health in an Unequal World”.
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic many individuals have reported feeling stressed or depressed, and there’s a surge in awareness and attention being paid to this issue at this time.
Treasurer and one of the Directors of the Friends of the Mentally Ill, Ann Greaves, says taking time to look after one’s mental health is crucial at this time.
Greaves says disparity of wealth is a major factor in one’s mental health situation.
