It's Mental Health Awareness week! I have had my own issues and what iv learnt in my own struggles is that keeping it all IN, is not going to help. Talk to someone, anyone! People are kind and you'll be surprised how genuine and caring others can be.
There are so many misconceptions about mental health and mental fitness, people often suffer in silence and their conditions go untreated.
The 2014 survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing in England found that 1 in 6 people aged 16+ had experienced symptoms of a common mental health problem, such as depression or anxiety, in the past week.
we need to do more to combate this problem. Youth depression rates have risen from 12.9% to 25.2% from pre-pandemic to 2021.
