World Mental Health Day is celebrated on October 10, an event promoted by the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH), with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO). The purpose of this date is to make visible the most serious mental disorder that members of global society are suffering from, to generate a set of strategies that support these people and allow them to cope with their illness or be cured definitively. The effort to diagnose and treat mental health disorders at an early age reduces the financial cost in the future and avoids all kinds of related problems, such as suicide. For the year 2021, the aim was to raise awareness of the importance of investment in mental health at a global level, especially considering that mental health is the most neglected area of public health. It is a global problem that affects a large number of people, and yet quality public mental health services do not exist. In low- and middle-income countries, people with mental health, neurological or addiction problems are neglected and do not receive any treatment
