Why is looking after your mental health important?

We know how to care for our physical health and what to do when we're unwell or injured. So, we should take the same approach to mental health when we're not feeling quite ourselves.

We can do a lot for our mental health and overall wellbeing. Knowing some of the symptoms of depression and anxiety is half the battle, and identifying them can help determine our next steps in deciding what care and support we need. It’s important that we should seek professional support where and when self-care hasn't been effective.
What signs should we look out for?
Depression and anxiety can present physically and psychologically. While mental health conditions are more common than you may think, not everyone will have the same symptoms or experience mental health issues in the same way.

Check out the NHS website for symptoms of a mental health condition.
