Thousands of people with mental health conditions around the world are deprived of their
human rights. They are not only discriminated against, stigmatized and marginalized but
are also subject to emotional and physical abuse in both mental health facilities and the
community. Poor quality care due to lack of qualified health professionals and dilapidated
facilities leads to further violations. The theme for this year’s World Mental Health Day,
observed on 10th October, is "Dignity in Mental Health". This year, WHO will be raising
awareness on what can be done to ensure that people with mental health conditions can
continue to live with dignity, through human rights oriented policy and law, training of
health professionals, respect for informed consent to treatment, inclusion in decisionmaking processes, and public information campaigns. There are a variety of mental issues
that can affect adolescents (University students) with the most common being substance
disorders, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. Other potentially
serious forms of mental illness include psychosis and eating disorders. This National

address the need for prevention, caregiving and intervention providing their dignity as
