The professional holiday of people who care about the mental health of everyone is the world-famous international Psychologist Day . It was established on the initiative of the World Federation of Mental Health in 10/10/1992 and is included in the list of international holidays approved by the UN.
At the initiative of Moscow State University, Psychologist’s Day in Russia has been celebrated since 2007. According to experts, in our difficult time without this branch of medicine it is impossible to solve many urgent and vital problems and tasks of mankind. Relevance is determined, first of all, by the fact that in our fast-moving age a person is subject to the influence of many factors that affect the psyche and can lead to disturbance of mental balance. This, in turn, entails the development of interpersonal conflicts, the emergence of problems in the work collective and in the family.
Psychologist's Day is a reflection of the significance of such a profession for society. Today, specialists in this industry provide incomparable assistance to people who find themselves in a difficult situation for whatever reason. Only with their help can it sometimes be possible to return to some people a sense of their significance for someone or for society as a whole, to help achieve harmony in communication with people and with oneself, and also to avoid tragedies. Previously, many turned to healers for help, to church ministers, but in the modern world everything is changing and the attitude to solving such problems is no exception.
This profession requires great responsibility, and the final result depends on skill, personal knowledge and experience. Celebrating Psychologist's Day, I want to express gratitude and respect to people who are engaged in a very important business. Thanks to the hard work of these specialists, a person gains confidence that temporary difficulties can be overcome, that there is a different view of events that oppress and seem insoluble.
Psychologists, providing specific assistance to patients, very often help their colleagues (surgeons, therapists) in the rehabilitation of patients, especially when it comes to incurable diseases. 100% success is not always achieved in this matter, but the struggle for it always goes to the end. For most people, life is changing for the better thanks to such professional and difficult work.
It is on Psychologist's Day that the great importance of this profession for society is emphasized. It is fundamental that human health is a comprehensive concept that combines both physical and mental health.
