One in four people suffer from mental health issues at some point throughout the year. As is the case with your physical health, your mental health can sometimes change according to your circumstances, and you cannot always control it.
There is a lot of information and support both locally and nationally for people with mental health difficulties or worries.
The University of Leeds has a website about mental health and the support available:
