Message from Abdi İbrahim Otsuka on World Mental Health Day, 10 October

Abdi İbrahim Otsuka marks 10 October World Mental Health Day with a strong message to those facing mental illness. The company emphasizes through its "Share Your Burden, Lighten Your Load; Make Time for Yourself and Your Loved Ones" campaign that individuals living with mental health conditions and their families should not hesitate to seek support by sharing these burdens. 

Share Your Burden, Lighten Your Load
Abdi İbrahim Otsuka, which continues efforts to increase public awareness of mental health issues such as depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, marks 10 October World Mental Health Day with a powerful campaign. Through the "Share Your Burden, Lighten Your Load" campaign, the company aims to remind individuals living with mental illness and their families that they are not alone and to draw attention to the importance of shared support.

10 October World Mental Health Day holds great significance in highlighting how invisible mental burdens affect individuals' daily lives, productivity and social relationships. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), one in every eight people worldwide experiences a mental health condition at some point in their lives. Anxiety disorders not only affect individuals' mood but also deeply impact their productivity, social relationships and quality of life.

Abdi İbrahim Otsuka has prepared a comprehensive awareness program on the occasion of 10 October World Mental Health Day. 

A trusted source on mental health: Let's Not Ignore It
Within this scope, the company aims to increase public awareness and enable individuals to access trusted resources when needed through the "Let's Not Ignore It" website, which offers informative content, expert views and sharing platforms on mental health. The company invites all patients and their families to visit this platform on the occasion of 10 October World Mental Health Day.

Scientific data reveals the healing power of sharing in mental health
Scientific research demonstrates that social support is an important protective factor for mental health. It is noted that individuals with strong social relationships experience milder depressive symptoms, have better stress coping skills and show greater compliance with treatment processes. These findings show that mental burdens lighten when shared and that support mechanisms play a decisive role in the recovery process.

On the other hand, loneliness and social isolation are among the most significant risk factors for mental health. Research shows that when social bonds are weak, the risk of depression increases and psychological resilience decreases. Conversely, supportive relationships strengthen an individual's mental resilience, increase their satisfaction with life and facilitate their ability to cope with difficulties.

10 October World Mental Health Day, in light of these scientific findings, delivers an important reminder to individuals and society: mental health problems are not a weakness but a universal part of human life. What matters is sharing these burdens, strengthening support mechanisms and reducing stigma. As science also demonstrates, burdens lighten when shared, and hope multiplies when shared.
