TLDR: National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month
The forum thread discusses the National Institute of Mental Health (NIH) and its designation of October as a month to observe several health-related themes in the U.S., including National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month, Health Literacy Month, ADHD Awareness Month, and Bullying Prevention Month. It is noted that Health Literacy Month is also observed internationally since 1999. One user, Sincerem, comments on the longevity of the global observation of Health Literacy Month, marking its 23rd year, and expresses interest in following NIH's celebrations for the month.
