Dr Nilesh Buddha, Officer-in-Charge, WHO South-East AsiaAround the world, more than 1 billion people live with a mental health condition – most commonly anxiety or depression – and suicide remains a leading cause of death of young people. In the WHO South-East Asia Region, 208 000 people are lost each year to suicide, and an estimated 289 million people live with a mental, neurological, self-harm, or substance use condition. This year, the theme of World Mental Health Day, “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change,” reminds us that people with lived experience (PWLE) of mental health conditions must not only be recipients of care – their voices must help shape the care, policies, and services that affect their lives. PWLE are a source of knowledge and expertise, and a powerful force for change, helping challenge stigma and discrimination, and helping services become more responsive, respectful, and relevant. When PWLE participate as equal partners, mental health systems move closer to putting people first. The Region has made progress.

I was delighted to recently learn that Pope Leo had just authorized the publication of a substantial new study by the International Theological Commission (ITC) on a subject close to my own heart: Caring for Our Common Home: A Responsible and Fraternal Response to the Trinitarian God. While ITC texts don’t themselves constitute acts of the Church’s magisterium, I came away convinced that this one deserves serious attention. And I’m not saying this just because the Vatican’s vision closely parallels themes I develop in a book of my own that, by a lovely coincidence, was released at virtually the same time. But, given the seemingly constant drama surrounding ecclesial documents these days, I can understand if some readers reasonably ask what use there is in paying attention to yet another Vatican document. In particular, you may wonder what one on ecology has to add. After all, several popes in a row have spoken extensively about our Christian responsibility toward creation.

The Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) joins the Ukrainian American community and friends of Ukraine worldwide in condemning the Trump Administration’s decision to permit Russian diesel sales, providing a new economic lifeline to the Kremlin as Russia continues its war against Ukraine. The decision undermines international efforts to isolate Russia, weakens sanctions, and provides new revenue to a regime responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the illegal occupation of Ukrainian territory.

Walking. Staggering. Falling to the ground multiple times and trying to get up and keep going every single time: the images will not be forgotten quickly and will be discussed for a long time to come. The fact remains that Solveig Løvseth was completely overcome by the heat in the very last kilometer of the Ironman World Championship, handing over an almost certain victory in Kona. Taylor Knibb capitalised fully, taking the win and her first Ironman world title on the Big Island. It must have been a bizarre sense of déjà vu for Taylor Knibb; last year, the American athlete went down in a similar fashion to Løvseth, making her the one to lose a virtually guaranteed victory back then. This year, with just 1.5 kilometers to go, Løvseth was defending a 1:15 minute lead over Knibb when things went completely wrong. Entirely disoriented and with zero control over her own body, Løvseth hit the ground multiple times, ran in the wrong direction at points, and simply couldn’t keep going. About ten kilometers earlier, things had already gone wrong for Lucy Charles-Barclay, who – also just like last year – was overcome by the heat and was unable to continue.

Saturday’s races in Kailua-Kona will go down as one of the most memorable Ironman World Championships in its 48-year history. In the men’s race, Magnus Ditlev of Denmark looked like he was headed to victory, but with a little more than five miles to go in the grueling 140.2-mile triathlon he began to wobble and at 4.5 miles he was passed by Vincent Luis of France.
