Attitudes to mental health

Mental health is about how we think, feel and behave. One in four people in the UK has a mental health problem at some point, which can affect their daily life, relationships or physical health.
Mental health problems can affect anyone. Without support and treatment, mental health problems can have a serious effect on the individual and those around them.
Every year in the UK, more than 250,000 people are admitted to psychiatric hospitals and over 4,000 people commit suicide.

Mental health disorders

Mental health disorders take many different forms and affect people in different ways. Schizophrenia, depression and personality disorders are all types of mental health problem.
Diseases such as dementia generally develop in old age, whereas eating disorders are more common in young people.
There is no single cause of mental health problems and the reasons they develop are complex.
