We all feel down from time to time, no matter our age. You can find information and tips on keeping mentally healthy on the Every Mind Matters website.
If feeling low or depressed, or excessive worry or anxiety is affecting you day-to-day, then NHS Talking Therapies could help. NHS Talking Therapies is a free and confidential service, open to adults aged 16-years and over. They offer practical therapies and support, which are proven to help people to improve their mood and find ways to manage.
NHS Talking Therapies can provide help at the earliest stage, for anybody who is struggling with low mood or worry. You can self-refer by visiting the NHS website, or contact your GP surgery for help.
If you live with serious mental illness, you are entitled to a free NHS annual health check – talk to your GP, key worker or mental health service to book it.
