Mental health is no joke, having been through some difficult times with no support, I've decided it's time to be there for you. Together we can fight our challenges and make sure we're there for one another. I am no professional, but I care.

I will be uploading videos/shorts daily to make sure everyone who needs it can benefit from it. If that's you, please subscribe. 

Anxiety is a type of fear usually associated with the thought of a threat or something going wrong in the future, but it can also arise from something happening right now. 

Depression is a common mental disorder that causes people to experience depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, and poor concentration. 

Depression is the predominant mental health problem worldwide, followed by anxiety, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. 

1 in 6 people, or approximately 45.8 million adults, report experiencing symptoms for common mental health problems, like anxiety and depression, in any given week in England. 

Nearly half (43.4%) of adults (24.5 million in England) think that they have had a diagnosable mental health condition at some point in their life. 

61% of adults with mental health conditions don’t access treatment. 

The amount of people with common mental health problems went up by 20% between 1993 to 2014, in both men and women. 

14.3% of deaths worldwide, or approximately 8 million deaths each year, are attributable to mental disorders. 

98% of people agree that mentally ill people experience stigma and discrimination. 

Nearly 9 out of 10 people with mental health problems say that stigma and discrimination have a negative effect on their lives. 

25% of people in England, approximately 14.1 million adults, say they feel lonely at least some of the time.
