Everyone can have good and bad days. But as we get older, changes in our lives, such as bereavement, illness or retirement, can impact our mental health.
This guide explains what mental health is and what might cause mental health problems. It mainly focuses on two of the most common issues – depression and anxiety – but it’s important to remember there are many other mental health problems. The guide looks at how you might feel, where you can get support and how you can help yourself or someone else.
