This World Mental Health Day, the theme is "Lived experiences heard: Real voices, real change". Behind every statistic about mental health is a person, and only by listening to those voices can we work to improve mental health services. Many of the people who shape our work have first-hand experience of mental illness, as patients, carers or family members. Their perspectives sit alongside clinical expertise in the information we produce. You can read our award-winning information on mental illnesses and mental health problems, which is written by doctors with input from patients and carers. ➡️ rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/… For young people, parents and carers, we have dedicated information on young people's mental health, written to help families understand what young people are going through and where to find help. ➡️ rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/… If you're looking for support or want to understand your options, our pages on support, care and treatment explain what treatments are available and what to expect. ➡️rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/… If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can also order our mental health leaflets, written by doctors for patients and carers. ➡️rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/… #itsokaynottobeok #WorldMentalHealthDay
