At some point in our lives, many of us will know someone who is struggling — this may be ourselves, or a partner, family member, friend or colleague.
This series of self help guides covers topics such as depression, anxiety and stress, to help people understand their mental health, explore possible causes and learn practical ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
All guides contain evidence based information and are written by NHS Clinical Psychologists, with contributions from people with lived experience.
They’re not a replacement for professional care. However, if it is not a medical emergency and you are unsure what to do next, they can help you consider possible next steps.

Today is the start of Mental Health Awareness Week. We’re shouting loudly that great mental health care isn't just clinical, it's human. It’s the kind voice at the end of the phone when you’re worried about rent and too unwell to work. It’s the adviser who listens actively, rather than waiting for their turn to speak. And it's you reminding friends and loved ones that these contact details can save lives. Please share 💙

April is PMDD Awareness Month. PMDD is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome that can have a serious impact on your mental health during the week or two before your period.

It causes a range of emotional and physical symptoms including:

• Mood swings
• Feeling upset or tearful.
• Lack of energy
• Less interest in activities you normally enjoy
• Feeling hopeless
• Feeling angry or irritable
• Coming into conflict with people around you
• Feeling anxious, tense or on edge
• Feeling overwhelmed or out of control
• Difficulty concentrating
• Suicidal thoughts

Our thoughts are with all of you experiencing PMDD 💙

If you feel unable to keep yourself safe, it's a mental health emergency and you should call 999 or go to the nearest A&E immediately.

You can find out more info about PMDD on our website.

This the NHS is encouraging people who have been sent an NHS bowel cancer screening kit to complete the test.

Detecting bowel cancer at the earliest stage makes you more likely to be successfully treated.
The free test detects signs of cancer before you notice anything wrong, the kit can be completed in the privacy of your own bathroom, a few simple steps and a tiny sample is all it takes.

If you’re sent a bowel cancer screening kit… Put it by the loo. Don’t put it off.
