Dear colleagues,
Today is the World Health Day and this year’s theme was selected as Depression – a very relevant theme for all of us. Depression can affect anybody and is one of the leading causes of disability and ill-health, all over the world. We believe it is important for EFPT to join forces towards improvement of mental health care and ensure that nobody stands alone!

- The theme of this year’s World Health Day is depression. Global burden of mental disorders has been seriously underestimated for the last decades and we need a lot of improvement in the area of mental health care. As members of the EFPT – European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees we believe that only together we can break the stigma that is accompanying and ensure that nobody stays alone! #LetsTalk #WHD2017 #depression
