The Gauteng Department of Health (GDoH) called on communities to keep supporting people with mental health challenges, according to spokesperson Steve Mabona.



He made the appeal on Wednesday as October drew to a close.



October is Mental Health Awareness Month in South Africa, with World Mental Health Day observed on 10 October. The month is meant to be a time to break the silence around depression, anxiety, and other conditions and encourage anyone struggling to seek support.
