      For me, what it is about men that makes them have some of the poorest mental health outcomes in society. I don’t think we’re there in terms of really understanding why men seem to suffer more in relation to certain issues compared to women.

      I have been blogging for 15 years now – I want to curate as many mental health stories as I can before I die.

      That collection of mental health stories is unlikely to be recognised as an important scientific discovery. But there’s a wonderful side in discovering from other people’s mental health story.

      Hmm, i’m not sure if it’s a discovery…. but finding a way that really helps people with their mental health and wellbeing. Whatever it is, it probably already exists… But I want to show people how amazing it is for them!

      I would like to discover something that helps health professionals understanding of the experiences of people with long terms health conditions (and/or their family members). For my master’s degree dissertation I interviewed daughters of breast cancer survivors to find out how they felt about their own health and risk of getting cancer themselves and got some really interesting findings, so I would love to be able to expand on this research with other health conditions.

      I’d love to find a definite answer to where resilience comes from and how we can improve it, so that people can cope better with stressful situations

      It’s not my subject right now area but I’d really like to find a way to treat addiction in the most efficient way possible.
