Stigma and taboo
​
Stigma, particularly surrounding mental disorders and suicide, means many people thinking of taking their own life or who have attempted suicide are not seeking help and are therefore not getting the help they need. The prevention of suicide has not been adequately addressed due to a lack of awareness of suicide as a major public health problem and the taboo in many societies to openly discuss it. To date, only a few countries have included suicide prevention among their health priorities and only 28 countries report having a national suicide prevention strategy.
Raising community awareness and breaking down the taboo is important for countries to make progress in preventing suicide.

Exercise is one of the best ways to improve one's mental and emotional health. Exercising regularly can help alleviate depression, anxiety and other mood disorders. Exercise also helps with ADHD and can even improve our brain function. Other benefits of exercise include improved sleep and stress relief.
