02 June 2026, Tuesday : On this World Eating Disorders Action Day, let us come together to raise awareness, promote understanding, and support those affected by eating disorders. These conditions are complex mental health challenges characterised by severe sustained disturbances in eating behaviours along with distressing thoughts about body weight and shape. These disorders can affect individuals of all ages and backgrounds, often remaining hidden behind silence, misunderstanding, and stigma.

This year's theme, "Stop stigma. Start care. Together.", reminds us that compassion, early support, and open conversations can make a meaningful difference. By fostering acceptance and encouraging help-seeking, we can create environments where individuals feel safe, respected, and supported on their journey towards recovery.

Let us work together to challenge misconceptions, strengthen awareness, and build communities that prioritise care over judgement. Together, we can help ensure that no one faces an eating disorder alone.

07 April 2026, Tuesday : On this World Health Day, we are reminded that health is a collective responsibility, and science remains our most reliable ally. In a world where misinformation spreads fast, “Standing With Science” means prioritising facts over fear, trusting research, and supporting those who work tirelessly to protect public health.
“Together for health” emphasizes the need for inclusive and resilient systems that ensure no one is left behind. Meaningful progress is possible only when institutions and individuals work in alignment.

In efforts to promote mental health awareness and combat misinformation by providing evidence-based information, NIMHANS has developed ManoSandesh, a YouTube video series on mental health that can be accessed for free by all.
