You’re not alone in this – approximately 1 in 4 people experience mental health symptoms and distress, and it is okay to ask for help when you need it.
When feelings of sadness, stress and other mental health symptoms are affecting your ability to enjoy life, it is a sign that you might need some additional support, and reaching out is a powerful choice on your path to recovery.
Being about to notice when things aren’t feeling right is an important part of taking charge of your mental health. By recognising the signs early, you’re building a stronger foundation for recovery.
These are some signs from your body and mind that it is time to take proactive steps. Recognising these can be steps towards understanding your needs and exploring your options for support. What are my next steps?
Talking to someone you trust – whether it’s a friend, family member, partner or or health care professional – can provide clarity and direction. A conversation with your GP can help you explore options for professional support tailored to your needs: Are you eligible for the government Mental Health Care Plan?
