In a Facebook post marking World Mental Health Day, Fahmi emphasized that mental health should be given the same importance as physical health, especially in the context of managing work, family responsibilities, and everyday life challenges. He advised those who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unable to cope on their own to confide in someone they trust and seek professional help if necessary. Fahmi reminded the public that taking a break and allowing oneself time to rest was not a sign of weakness. Observed annually on October 10, World Mental Health Day aims to raise global awareness about the significance of mental health.",
