Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being and affects how we think, feel and act.
Mental health problems are extremely common and can be developed at any stage of a person’s life, ranging from depression and anxiety to rarer problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
In this zone you’ll meet a psychologist interested in how our perceptions of our social environment impacts on our mental and physical health, and one who designs and carries out research studies to understand how the brain works. There’s a psychologist looking at stress for social workers, trying to find the key causes and ways it might be reduced. Another is supporting adults whose job is causing a mental health problem. One psychologist runs a mental health blog, website and open access journal, and there’s a psychologist interested in what influences how we rate our wellbeing.
