Everybody has mental health, just like we have physical health. The two can affect each other.
Our mental wellbeing is important because it influences not only how we think and feel about ourselves, but also how we think and feel about other people, affecting our outlook on a situation or the environment around us.
Things can feel very difficult at times but support is available and you are not alone.
Every week, 1 in 6 adults experiences a common mental health problem. It's completely normal and you will have felt like this at some point in your life as a result of day-to-day problems, such as work stress, car troubles, caring responsibilities or arguing with friends or family.
Other times, these feelings can be triggered because of a more significant event, like someone close to you dying, relationship breakdowns, physical health issues or financial worries.
There is a range of support and advice which can help you with these issues, including:
