While stress isn't a mental health condition, the two are closely related – stress can result in poor mental health, and poor mental health can result in stress. In #StressAwarenessMonth, here are a few things that may help ease some stress 💙
Illustration titled "Feeling Stressed?" featuring eight colourful icons suggesting relaxation techniques: spending time in nature, getting sleep, connecting with senses, taking a screen break, being kind to oneself, getting outside, focusing on breathing, and reaching out for support. Each icon is accompanied by a simple, friendly image such as a tree, cloud, sun, and a heart.

I can’t stress enough how important it is for your mental health to take breaks from the internet, make plans with your loved ones, take up a craft or hobby, read for pleasure. Our brains were not made to be online 24 hours a day. You will not regret a life spent in this world.

Where's the evidence that mental health is being "overdiagnosed"?
Dear UK government, Let's be clear: our mental health is getting worse, and cutting benefits won’t help. You claim mental health is being “overdiagnosed”, but where’s the evidence? The reality is that our environment affects our wellbeing - pandemics, the cost of living crisis, political unrest and ongoing concerns around climate change are all taking their toll. But when people seek help, they face months, or even years, of waiting. Rhetoric like this is dangerous. It reinforces stigma and stops people getting support. If you’re serious about change, listen to those affected. We can turn this crisis around - but only if the government works with us, not against us. We look forward to hearing from you, Mind
