World Mental Health Day

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder to have an open discussion about mental disorders, and invest in education, prevention & treatment.

In collaboration with World Health Organisation (WHO) to mark World Mental Health Day, writer and illustrator Matthew Johnstone tells the story of overcoming the "black dog of depression". Here is the video we thought it was definitely worth sharing:
