FAQS
HOW DO I KNOW IF I OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS A MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM?
Depression and Anxiety affects 1 in 4 people however this doesn't mean that everyone is open about it. Many people still feel embarrassed or ashamed or don't want to talk about it. It is also key to remember that everyone is different.
If you notice yours or someone you know experience mood changes, character change, acting differently, seem negative or down, signs of or thoughts around self harm then it maybe worth while having a soft conversation to check how they are.
WHAT IS A SOFT CONVERSATION / HOW DO I APPROACH SOMEONE WHO I THINK MAYBE STRUGGLING?
Start with general conversation! Anyone who is struggling may become guarded and less inclined to open up if you approach the topic head on. Try to establish commonalities and talk about topics you know they're interested in. This will also be a further test to see if their mood changes when you talk about something they're passionate about.
If they offer little response, closed answers and / or little excitement around topics they enjoy, then this will provide with a good basis to say "Are you ok X? Just you usually would be excited about Y".
Don't be afraid to ask if they're ok!
WHAT SHALL I DO IN AN EMERGENCY?
We hope that we can have a major impact so it never comes to this however if you feel unwell and / or experience suicidal thoughts then speak to someone you trust, contact your GP, go to A&E, call 999 or call the Samaritans on 116123.
Below is more information on Mental Health Charity Mind and a link to their website where you can find further information.
