WHO research shows that 615 million people worldwide suffer from depression and various anxiety disorders. Despite such alarming data, this problem is often still underestimated. Due to the difficult experiences of a pandemic, we should all the more address it and learn to talk about it openly.

During the lectures, the projects enabling the improvement of the mental condition will be presented, based on in-depth research and the authors' own experiences.
