Mental Health Issues

Mental health problems such as: depression and anxiety are very common. But many people don't actually know what they are and why people suffer. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(mood)) Depression is a state of low mood that can affect a person's thoughts, behaviour, feelings and sense of well being. People who suffer with depression may feel sad, empty, hopeless, worried, helpless, guilty, hurt and restless. They may lose interest in activities that once they really enjoyed, experience loss of appetite or overeating, concentration problems, difficulty making decisions and may contemplate or attempt suicide. Insomnia, loss of energy and aches and pains are also very common when suffering with depression.

If you think you're suffering from any of these symptoms or feel as though you may be suffering from depression there are many ways to get help. Here is a website with lots of details about how to deal with mental health issues. http://www.makesachange.org.uk/submenu/isle-of-wight/how-to/deal-with-mental-health-issues.aspx
