Mike Richard, Founder of Talk About It Mate, talks about Mental Health Awareness Week
Mental Health Foundation are the home of Mental Health Awareness Week - 15th to 21st May. This year's theme is 'anxiety'.
'Anxiety is a normal emotion in us all, but sometimes it can get out of control and become a mental health problem. Lots of things can lead to feelings of anxiety, including exam pressures, relationships, starting a new job (or losing one) or other big life events. We can also get anxious when it comes to things to do with money and not being able to meet our basic needs, like heating our home or buying food. Anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems we can face. On a positive note, anxiety can be made easier to manage.'
