The lockdown has started to have an unfavourable impact on people's mental health, not just here but all across the globe. The long-lasting effects on our mental wellbeing are becoming a matter of grave concern with each passing day. If we want a society where everyone can play their part, then we need to make sure we support and promote opportunity for all, including those living with mental health issues. As Mental Health Awareness Week begins, we must collectively try our best to raise awareness on mental health and provide support to those who need it. Mental health and wellbeing must be at the heart of planning, architecture and design. It is clear that mental health is shaped by the environment we live in, so we should ensure that our environment protects and promotes mental health, as the anxiety and concern about coronavirus further exacerbates these problems.
