WELLBEING

Even though 1 in 4 people have mental health problems, most of us don't get the help we need. The charity Mind offers help whenever you might need it through their information, advice and local services.

What is mental wellbeing?

Good mental wellbeing doesn't mean that you're always happy. Or that you're unaffected by your experiences.

And having good wellbeing doesn't always mean that you don't have a mental health problem.

You may live with a mental health problem, but have good wellbeing right now. Or you might not have a mental health problem, but be struggling with your wellbeing at the moment.

Poor mental wellbeing can make it more difficult to cope with daily life.
