The 2017 theme for Mental Health Month was Risky Business. It focused on the importance to educate people about habits and behaviors that increase the risk of developing or exacerbating mental illnesses, or could be signs of mental health problems themselves.

Mental health issue risks are, a history of anxiety or depression in the family, lack of emotional support from family and friends, long history of intense mental trauma, and history of child abuse in a workplace which increases the exposure to trauma such as abuse, sexual harassment. People with these mental health issues develop symptoms like suicidal tendencies, repeated nightmares, anxiety, and depression disorders, substance abuse, avoiding social life, sleeplessness, and negative thoughts about themselves and the world. In such cases, strong emotional support and good counseling will help them recover from it.
