Mental health care must be built around people, their rights and their communities.
As we mark #WorldMentalHealthDay, I welcome the commitment of @anuradisanayake, President of Sri Lanka, to champion this agenda and continue strengthening community-based mental health care in Sri Lanka.
Together, we can replace isolation with inclusion and support.

Getting ready for #WorldDiabetesDay on 14 November.
Did you know that more than 40% of people living with diabetes across the globe are undiagnosed?
Without a diagnosis, people living with #diabetes may not be able to access the care, treatment and support they need to manage their diabetes and live healthy lives.
Knowing the symptoms of diabetes can help people recognize when to seek support. Common #symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, tiredness and blurred vision.
Type 1 diabetes #T1D often develops rapidly, while type 2 diabetes typically develops gradually and may cause few or no noticeable symptoms.
