The Human Aspect Season 1 Episode 9

How is UK dealing with mental health and why does youth struggle?

Learn what Meg that is working with youth and mental health feels about the UK situation. She was herself close to committing suicide and has struggled with both depression and anxiety from a young age. Growing up she felt she could never become depressed, as she was always considered to be the strong one and go-to-girl for her friends. When it hit here, she did not believe it and struggled to share it with those around her. Now she is running a successful start up providing workshops and guidance to companies and schools. See how she feels the UK is in the forefront in terms of talking about mental health from the royal family to the youth, but how they feel actions are missing, to increase knowledge and empower people to take action in their own lives. Learn what Jimmy and the team learned from the second UK interview tour and all 3 share their views on what could be done in terms of actions. They also discuss what they recommend those struggling with depression and anxiety to try, based on their own experience and insights. This is a lively and open episode that shares the passionate energy from 3 people working on mental health progress. Enjoy.
