Mental health conditions affect how we think, feel and cope with everyday life – and they’re more common than many people realise. Whatever you’re experiencing, understanding more about it is often the first step towards feeling better, or supporting someone you care about.
This section covers a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia and trauma. Each guide explains what the condition is, common symptoms, what may help and where to find further support.
Response can only support people who come to us through an NHS or local authority referral, so we’ve gathered helplines and organisations you can contact directly for support with your mental health, including services available 24/7.
