From offering advice on navigating periods of illness to sharing insights on the importance of tackling the issue in the workplace, Twitter users have been vocal, and will continue to be so throughout the day.
Removing the stigma of mental health issues is the name of the game, and Twitter is on top of it.
It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay today. 1 in 5 people take a day off due to stress. Be open, be supportive, and above all, be kind. #WMHD

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Your feelings are valid. It's okay to talk about it. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Anyone can have a bad day. For some, that can become a bad week, month or year. Only communication can remove stigmas. pic.twitter.com/6EloLpwIIp— Stonehouse Search (@StonehouseSaS) October 10, 2017
This #WorldMentalHealthDay we don’t all need to be psychotherapists or psychiatrists or mental health nurses. We can do a great deal of good by just making a friend a cup of tea and listening #ItsOkNotToBeOk

It can be caused by anything or nothing.
