Time to change: Helping people who've suffered mental distress tell their story

HAVE you seen the Time to Change TV ad yet?

Linda is working with the press adviser for Mental Health Media in the Midlands to help people share their story of how they have been affected by mental illness.

She's in good company as Stephen Fry and Ruby Wax are also speaking out to help end the stigma.

One in four people in the UK are said to have suffered from a mental illness, with depression being up there as the most common.

It's a privilege to be involved in such a campaign and we look forward to helping make a difference, however small.

Nowadays mental distress is quite common because expectations of every people are growing day by day. When people don’t get whatever they required strongly then they suffer from mental distress. It may be because of family problems, joblessness etc. The patient must be told to exercise his willpower to get rid of mental distress. People must be told that they are getting better. Psychological impressions must be created on their mind which will help to understand that his disease is not incurable. Suggestion is the best thing in such circumstances.
