Good afternoon, everyone. I deeply thank all of you for being here today.

I want
each and every one of you to take a moment and think—there may be someone
in this very room silently struggling with their mental well-being. It might not be
visible, but it is real. The struggle is real, as they say. Today, I want to talk about
a very personal topic that affects not just hundreds, but millions of people—
mental health. My goal in making this speech is to explain deeply what mental
health is, why it matters, how it becomes a silent killer, and how we can support
ourselves and others. So—what is mental health? By definition, mental health is
a human being’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how
we think, feel, and act. A healthy and intact mind may show in positive thinking,
healthy emotions, and good actions. These come from a person with strong,
stable mental health. But if this is what positive mental health looks like—what
about a broken or trapped one? That’s what we’re covering today. There are
many types of mental health issues, caused by different things. Some are
genetic, linked to brain chemistry and biological factors. Others come from the
outside—from trauma, abuse, stress, bullying, and more. Mental health impacts
our lives heavily—especially our school life, relationships, and even physical
health. A decline in mental health can affect the body, too. The numbers prove
this. Statistics show that over 10 to 20 people every day take their own lives
because of mental health problems. Some are teens, mothers, fathers,
professionals—people from all walks of life. And yet, people still say: “Why would
they do that?” “That’s a sin.” “Those kids are just wasting their lives.” They
judge, because they don’t see what’s behind closed doors. They don’t realize
that mental problems are silent killers. By now, you might be wondering: How
can we cope with this? Therapy is one way. Having a support system that lifts
you up can make a big difference. Medical treatment can also help. The first
step is to reach out. The second is to keep going. Mental health isn’t something
we should ignore. It’s actually scarier than a ghost—because it lives inside you,
not outside. You can see ghosts. But this? You can’t always see it. That’s what
makes it so dangerous. What also makes it dangerous? People can't see through
someone who's suffering. Why? Mostly, people who commit suicide give their
full energy on things the day before they do it. They don't usually show signs.
That is what makes it heartbreaking and dangerous at the same time. So—keep
your mind healthy and free. Don’t let it eat you from the inside out. As Eren
Yeager once said, “If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don’t fight, you
can’t win.”He was talking about war—but this applies to mental health, too.
Because fighting through anxiety, depression, or trauma feels like a battle—not
always physical, but deeply emotional. And though it’s hard, choosing to fight,
to speak up, and to seek help... That’s how you begin to [Link] afternoon,
