Information for young people, parents, carers and families about mental health and well-being

The phrase ‘mental health problem’ is used to describe a wide range of symptoms and experiences. These can be things like anxiety, depression, eating disorders or schizophrenia. Mental health problems can develop at any time, but often first emerge when people are in their teens. Mental health problems can affect people in different ways and can last for different lengths of time.
