  • One in four people will experience some form of poor mental health in their lifetime.

    Some people with a mental health diagnosis will need more support than others to overcome barriers related to their condition.

    Not all mental health conditions are defined as chronic, some can be treated with medication and talking therapy in the short term ​enabling the person to overcome the condition and recover in the sense they no longer need medication or treatment.

    However, some conditions can be described as chronic meaning people with these conditions may need to remain on medication long-term and may need extra support to overcome barriers related to the condition.​

    Diagnosed mental health conditions can have an impact on our physical health.
