UN chief calls for making mental health global priority_我的网站

一 |     United Nations, Oct 11 (UNI) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for making mental health a global priority and urged actions to promote universal quality mental health care.



Nearly 1 billion people live with a mental health condition. But mental health remains one of the most neglected aspects of health care, Guterres on Monday said in a message marking the World Mental Health Day, which falls on October 10.



"Some countries have only two mental health workers for every 100 000 people. The social and economic repercussions are profound," he said, noting that anxiety and depression alone cost the global economy an estimated 1 trillion US dollars per year.



The UN chief stressed the need to strengthen the capacity of health services to offer quality care to those in need, in particular young people.



Stigma and discrimination must be addressed along with breaking down the barriers that stop people from seeking care and support, he said.



Guterres also underscored the importance of preventing the root causes of mental health conditions, including violence and abuse, adding that the UN is committed to working with partners to promote mental wellbeing.



"As we mark World Mental Health Day, let us make it a global priority and act urgently so that everyone, everywhere has access to quality mental health care," he said.

UNI/XINHUA PRT。    Tamil cinema is gearing up for a major nostalgia wave as the cult Tamil hit film Padayappa storms back into theatres on 12 December, perfectly timed with Rajinikanth’s 75th birthday and his 50-year milestone in cinema. For fans, this is not just a rerelease but an invitation to revisit a cultural moment that helped define superstardom, fan hysteria, and the sheer spectacle of big screen entertainment.In a newly surfaced behind the scenes video, Rajinikanth looks back on the making of the KS Ravikumar hit with characteristic candour. He recalls being astonished by the sheer volume of women who turned up at cinemas during its original run, something he admits he had never witnessed in his decades long career. For a star known for pan demographic appeal, that detail captures the special emotional tether Padayappa created on release.Rajinikanth Says Padayappa 2 Is Under Serious ConsiderationWhat has amplified fan frenzy even more is Rajinikanth’s confirmation that discussions for Padayappa 2 have begun. Having already been part of sequels like Jailer 2 and 2.0, he said he strongly felt the world of Padayappa still had unexplored dimensions.He added that the proposed sequel would shift its gaze entirely to Neelambari. Ramya Krishnan’s iconic antagonist continues to be one of Tamil cinema’s most celebrated characters, remembered for her intensity, elegance, and fierce emotional complexity. Built around her vow to avenge Padayappa even through another birth, the potential storyline has already ignited rampant speculation among fans.Rajinikanth shared that the creative team is currently shaping the narrative and that the new chapter, if finalised, will retain the festive scale and emotional fireworks that made the first film a landmark in his career.                                         A Film Made for the Big Screen ExperienceThe superstar also spoke about the sacredness of the theatrical experience while making Padayappa. He revealed that he consciously resisted lucrative digital offers because he believed the film deserved to be experienced only in cinemas. Except for selling satellite rights, he kept the film away from early home viewing platforms, insisting that its visual energy and narrative punch were designed for the big screen.Directed by KS Ravikumar, the 1999 blockbuster brought together an ensemble that still feels timeless. Sivaji Ganesan delivered regal gravitas as Padayappa’s father, while Soundarya offered warmth and restraint opposite Rajinikanth. Radha Ravi, Nassar, Manivannan, and Abbas rounded out a cast that propelled the story’s blend of conflict, romance, and redemption.                                                                 View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Soundarya Rajinikanth (@soundaryaarajinikant)               AR Rahman’s soundtrack was a sensation on release and remains one of his enduring commercial albums. Tracks like En Peru Padayappa and Minsara Poove continue to dominate nostalgic playlists, testimony to the musical legacy that accompanied the film’s theatrical impact.More than 25 years later, Padayappa still represents everything that makes mass cinema a communal celebration. The emotion, the punch lines, the star power, and the myth making around Rajinikanth have aged into legend. Its rerelease arrives at a symbolic moment in his career, allowing audiences to relive the energy that once turned theatres into festival grounds.And if a Neelambari centred sequel does take shape, fans may soon witness a fresh chapter in one of Tamil cinema’s most iconic rivalries.Also Read: Tamil Cinema Bids Farewell to AVM Saravanan, A Producer Who Shaped Generations。
