Thursday, 20 May 2021, marks the first International Mental Health Action Day. This day is dedicated to drive people to take Mental Health Action for themselves and others. The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (Sadag), alongside 1,000+ organisations around the world, has partnered to change awareness into action.
South Africa already had a mental health crisis before Covid-19. Now, the pandemic has created new issues for millions and has exacerbated challenges for millions more. Sadag has seen the devastating impact the pandemic has had on mental health, especially among those who already had a mental health issue before lockdown.
