Mental Health Awareness Week, May 13th to 19th
The Menth Health Foundation, UK has its Mental Health Awareness Week, this week, 13th to 19th. This year they have themed it around Body Image.
The Foundation says that although body image concerns is not a mental health issue, it is a high risk factor for such problems. The Foundation says that "over a third of UK adults have felt anxious or depressed because of concerns about their body image." Source: Mental Health Foundation.
Whilst my depression is not body image related, when you are suffering with a mental illness, any low self-esteem point or the smallest issue is the equivalent to a major disaster.
Do you know of anyone with mental health issues? Show your support. Let them know they are not alone
