a part of life but not forever

Mental health challenges can affect anyone, regardless of age, background or life situation. Sometimes illness occurs as a reaction to difficult life events through grief, separation or stress. Sometimes illness develops gradually, without a clear cause.

Mental health challenges can affect your everyday life, your relationships and your quality of life. Common symptoms are worry, depression, sleep problems, anxiety, exhaustion and feelings of emptiness or the experience of being stuck in patterns that are difficult to break. It can also involve strong self-criticism, low self-esteem or recurring conflicts in relationships. ​
