💗 Today is World Mental Health Day.

The World Health Organization (WHO) designated October 10 as World Mental Health Day to raise awareness of mental health and reduce stigma. In Korea, however, surveys show that 61% of people rarely think about their mental health, and 69.4% believe that receiving psychiatric treatment could lead to disadvantages in employment or social life.

Osteoporotic fractures, which cause physical disability, also have a profound impact on mental health. Studies show that patients who experience fractures face a higher risk of depression, anxiety, and social isolation, with a significant decline in quality of life. Research also indicates that even without fractures, women with osteoporosis often suffer from fear of falling, anxiety, and depression.

Healthy Mind, Healthy Aging.

At PROMEDIUS, we believe that a healthy mind completes healthy aging. This weekend, take time to care for your mind — whether by spending it with family or enjoying peaceful moments on your own.
