10th Nov, 2021This is a welcome development to establish integrated primary mental health care where mental health can be given a priority like other health conditions. Mental health is fast becoming a public health threat, today, nearly a billion people (970 million) live with mental health disorders and substance misuse. About 20% of the World's children and adolescents have mental health issues and these age groups are regarded as the future of any nation. No health without mental health....Thank you sir
