Let's Talk About Mental Health
14:09'When we break our arm, everyone runs forward to sign the cast. But, when we say we have depression, everyone runs the other way'
- Jack Harries
I'm just going to jump right into this.
One in four people are affected by mental health. That means that if it isn't you, it's one of your friends, classmates or even family.
Now to me, that is a very scary statistic.
Mental health is anything from depression and anorexia, to anxiety and schizophrenia. These are not personality traits or part of someone's character. These are illnesses. Mental health is something which is rarely spoken about because of its nature. However, 2015 is going to be the year where it is spoken about.
The issue needs to be raised.
People are unaware of mental issues and that they are illnesses. It is a type of 'sick'. And we need to help as much as we can.
Take five minutes on the 5th of February to have a conversation about mental health.
It's time to talk.
