World Mental
Health Day – 10 October 2025.
"Mental
Health is a Universal Human Right" . Focus on Prevention,
Awareness & New Hope
1. Global Mental
Health: A Growing Crisis
Every 10th October, the
world comes together to raise awareness & advocate for better mental health
care. But despite decades of progress, mental health disorders remain among the
top 5 global health burdens, with alarming trends:
·
1 in 4 people will experience a mental or
neurological disorder in their lifetime.
·
Global economic burden of mental illness
exceeds USD 6 trillion annually by 2030 (WHO).
·
Depression is now the leading cause of
disability worldwide, while dementia cases are expected to triple by 2050.
·
Stroke, traumatic brain injury, and
seizure-related disorders contribute significantly to secondary cognitive
decline, often overlooked in public health planning.
Despite increasing
numbers, more than 70% of people in low & middle income countries receive
no treatment due to cost, lack of specialists & systemic underfunding.
2. Limitations of
Current Treatment Approaches
While modern medicine
including antidepressants, antipsychotics & cognitive enhancers remains
essential, it faces several critical limitations:
·
Cost: Long-term treatment is expensive &
often unaffordable for many patients.
·
Delayed Results: Many medications take
months to show significant effects.
·
Side Effects: Chronic use may lead to
metabolic issues, liver toxicity, or emotional blunting.
·
Limited Regenerative Potential: Most drugs
manage symptoms rather than repair neural damage or stimulate neurogenesis.
Even popular “natural”
options such as Ginkgo biloba, Bacopa, curcumin, green tea extract, fish oil,
and mushroom compounds while supportive have not been clinically proven to
directly increase neurogenesis or significantly raise Brain-Derived
Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in humans recovering from stroke, dementia, or
cognitive decline.
3. The Turning Point:
Cognitive Health Through Natural Neurogenesis.
Kesum (Polygonum minus) ‘A
Game-Changing Discovery’
Recent breakthroughs in
neuro-nutraceutical research highlight Kesum (Polygonum minus) as a new
frontier in mental health support, particularly in the context of
neuroregeneration & cognitive resilience.
Key Scientific Findings:
✅ Clinically proven to increase BDNF levels
by 2% in human blood tests, a world first discovery for a botanical extract.
✅ BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor)
is essential for neuroplasticity, memory formation, mood regulation &
recovery from brain injuries.
✅ Promotes neurogenesis the creation of new
neurons & protects existing neurons from oxidative stress &
inflammation.
✅ Shows promise for people facing post stroke
cognitive decline, early dementia, seizure-related brain injury &
age-related memory loss.
✅ Works preventively too supporting
cognitive function in younger adults, students & high-stress professionals.
This positions Kesum not
just as a supplement, but as a potential therapeutic nutrition tool — bridging
the gap between conventional treatment & natural prevention.
4. Prevention: The
True Core of World Mental Health Day
One of the most powerful
messages of World Mental Health Day is that prevention is far better & far
more affordable than cure.
Daily lifestyle choices
can significantly reduce the risk of mental decline:
Nutrition: Diets rich in
neuroprotective compounds (polyphenols, omega-3s, antioxidants)
Exercise: Regular
physical activity enhances BDNF & neuroplasticity
Stress Management:
Meditation & sleep quality directly affect cognitive resilience
·
Cognitive Engagement: Lifelong learning,
social connection & problem-solving keep the brain active
·
Neuro-Enhancing Botanicals: Neuro-Enhancing
Botanicals: Early introduction of clinically proven supplements like Kesum can
offer long-term neuroprotection
5. Professional
Conclusion. 
Mental health care is
entering a new era. While modern medicine remains essential for acute and
severe conditions, it is increasingly clear that prevention, early intervention
& neuro-regenerative support will define the next generation of care.
In this landscape, Kesum
(Polygonum minus) emerges as a scientifically validated, accessible &
holistic solution, capable of supporting BDNF-driven neurogenesis, enhancing
cognitive resilience & potentially reducing the global mental health
burden.
As the world marks World
Mental Health Day 2025, it’s time to expand our perspective beyond treatment toward
brain health as daily care & neuroprotection as a lifetime habit.
FINAL THOUGHT Final Thought
Mental health is not just
about treating illness, it’s about building & maintaining a resilient
brain. With global cases rising & healthcare systems under pressure,
innovations like Kesum provide new hope that the future of mental well-being
may be natural, regenerative & accessible for all.

Key Takeaways for World Mental Health Day
2025.
|
Insight |
Why
it Matters |
|
BDNF is the ‘master
switch’ for brain resilience |
Is
supports neuron survival, growth, synaptic plasticity and cognitive recovery –
making it a top priority for neurologist and brain specialist
|
|
Conventional
medicine excels at symptom control but not regeneration |
Most
prescription treatment manage neurotransmitters or slow decline – they do not
promote neurogenesis or rebuild damaged circuits
|
|
Natural
supplements vary in impact – but KESUM stands out |
Among
all botanical and nutritional options, only KESUM (polygonum minus) has shown
clinically proven direct BDNF elevation ( ~ 2%), offering a regenerative and
preventive approach
|
|
Integration is
the future |
The
best mental health strategy combines medical care ( for acute symptom) with
natural neurogenesis support (for long-term resilience) - a model perfectly aligned with WORLD
MENTAL HEALTH DAY’S THEME OF PREVENTION AND PROTECTION.

🧠
Professional Conclusion
World Mental Health Day 2025 highlights a critical
shift: from reactive treatment to proactive brain protection. While medical
therapies remain essential, they often fall short in promoting the one process
that truly reverses cognitive decline, neurogenesis.
This is where Kesum (Polygonum minus) redefines the
landscape. With clinically proven ability to increase BDNF by ~2% and stimulate
new neuron growth, it represents a world-first botanical solution that bridges
prevention, protection & recovery.
