At BG Pharma and Healthcare Limited, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. As we mark World Mental Health Day on 10th October 2025, we stand together with millions around the globe to raise awareness, share support, and push for a world where mental health is a priority.
Mental health is an essential part of our well-being. It impacts how we think, feel, and act, influencing how we relate to others, handle stress, and make decisions. Yet, despite its significance, mental health often remains under-recognized and under-treated. This year’s theme, “Mental Health is a Universal Human Right”, calls for us to prioritize and support mental health initiatives across communities and societies, ensuring access to care for all.
The Importance of Mental Halth Awareness
Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and stress affect millions of people worldwide. In fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in every eight people globally suffers from some form of mental disorder. Yet, due to stigma, lack of resources, and insufficient education, many individuals with mental health challenges are not receiving the care and attention they need.
At BG Pharma, we understand the critical role that mental health plays in a person’s overall health. Mental health is not just the absence of mental illness, but the presence of positive mental well-being that enables individuals to thrive in their everyday lives. This World Mental Health Day, we want to highlight the importance of providing mental health care for all, not only for those already suffering from disorders but also for the general population to support their well-being.
BG Pharma’s Commitment to Mental Health
As a leading player in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector, BG Pharma and Healthcare Limited is committed to supporting the mental health of individuals through awareness campaigns, education, and research. We believe that promoting mental well-being should be a shared responsibility across all sectors of society.
Through our partnerships with healthcare professionals, organizations, and global institutions, we work to promote:
• Access to Mental Health Services: We are dedicated to enhancing access to mental health care, making it easier for individuals to seek help. This includes supporting initiatives that ensure mental health resources are available at all levels of society, from remote areas to urban centers.
• Public Education and Awareness: We aim to reduce stigma surrounding mental health by providing factual, supportive information about mental health conditions and treatment options. Knowledge empowers individuals to seek help and offer support to others, creating a more compassionate society.
• Support for Mental Wellness Programs: BG Pharma actively collaborates with local and international organizations to create programs that support mental well-being in various communities. These programs offer stress relief, mindfulness practices, counseling, and coping mechanisms to enhance mental wellness and emotional resilience.
How We Can All Contribute
While World Mental Health Day is a significant occasion to reflect on mental health awareness, it is crucial that we continue to support mental wellness every day of the year. At BG Pharma, we encourage everyone to consider the following actions:
• Start the Conversation: Engage in open and honest conversations about mental health. Whether at home, in the workplace, or in the community, reducing the stigma starts with dialogue. Encourage those around you to speak up about their feelings and mental health needs.
• Practice Self-Care: Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. Make time for activities that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Whether its exercise, meditation, hobbies, or spending time with loved ones, self-care is essential for maintaining a balanced life.
• Support Mental Health Initiatives: Whether through volunteer work, donations, or advocacy, contributing to mental health awareness programs can make a real difference in your community. You can support organizations that focus on providing mental health care, education, and resources for those in need.
• Be a Source of Support: If you know someone who may be struggling with mental health issues, offer your support. Sometimes, a simple act of kindness or lending an empathetic ear can be incredibly valuable. Remind them that it’s okay to seek professional help and that no one should feel alone in their journey.
BG Pharma: A Leader in Promoting Health and Well-Being
At BG Pharma and Healthcare Limited, we believe that health is holistic, encompassing both the body and the mind. On this World Mental Health Day, we reaffirm our commitment to advocating for mental health awareness and supporting mental wellness in all communities. We encourage individuals to seek help when needed, prioritize self-care, and spread awareness to ensure that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, has access to the mental health care they deserve.
A Call to Action: Let’s Work Together for Better Mental Health
Mental health is not just the responsibility of healthcare providers, it is a shared responsibility that extends to every individual, family, and community. We all have a role to play in ensuring that mental health care is accessible, effective, and available to everyone.
On World Mental Health Day, and every day, let us work together to build a world where mental health is prioritized and supported. We can start by talking about it, educating ourselves and others, and acting to reduce the stigma and barriers surrounding mental health care.
