- Lets talk about mental health.
Things have improved, yet a stigma still exists when it comes to talking about mental health, particularly with men.
Here is my recent experiences of mental health and why it is so important to reach out for help. People care and people want you well. The illness plays tricks on you.

Good to see you using your experience to raise awereness. I've been working in the field for 32 years and we are finally seeing a change in attitudes to mental health, slooowly but surely. As somebody who has had anxiety for decades, I have a foot in both camps. What I would say to people generaly, with my MH professional hat on, is seek support as you say Simon, and also just take care when people recommend all sorts of random things as solutions, many work or work for them and that is great, but some can trigger people in unexpected ways as well as some quite dodgy stuff on the internet. Mental illness is illness and as such I'd check with somebody trained just as I would check likewise if contemplating some new physical activity whilst carrying a physical a physical illness/injury. It is also good to find out what the issue is - for example sometimes depression can be brought on due to low thyroid levels. It is also good to look at the things that are supportive of mental wellbeing, which include support from others, exercise and getting out into the natural environment - all of which are evidenced here.
