A-Z mental health

1 day ago

After the sad news this weekend that Love Island star Mike Thalassitis took his own life, it is important to remember that everyone has mental health and anyone can experience poor mental health. Our thoughts are with Mike's family and friends at this difficult time. If you are concerned about someone at immediate risk please call 999. If you or someone else needs to talk to someone about thoughts of suicide Samaritans can be called on 116 123. Mindline Somerset is also available for emotional support on 01823 276 892. If you are affected by the issues of bereavement by suicide please call the Somerset Suicide Bereavement Support Service on 0300 330 5463 or visit suicidebereavement.wixsite.com/somerset. #mentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealthmatters #somersetsupportservices #somersetmentalhealthservices ...

No one truly understands depression unless they’ve had it. It is nasty and they have stop smoking support! There needs to be a national NHS campaign to support depression and educate others.

I think there needs to be more support in the work place for people with depression. I also think that the NHS in Somerset needs to buck up its ideas when it comes to talking therapy. I’ve been on a waiting list for over a year and there’s not been so much as a phone call.

Same me i been waiting awhile its on joke i been throw alot .😂

The NHS in Taunton for Mental Health is a joke. Long waiting times for therapy, Drs seem fed up to see you and quickly push you back out the door. I've BPD and meds dont work for me so I struggle day in day out. I've stopped going to the Drs as they cant do nothing for me. If I'm having a bad day I suffer alone as hate making phone calls, hate asking for help and dont want people close to me know I'm struggling as dont want the attention.
