One in 4 people have mental health problems.  I never thought it would affect me but as many of you know a couple of years ago I was very unwell and could see no light at the end.  I have slowly with a huge amount of support and help  brought myself back, to being a (mostly) functioning person again.  The impact on my family and close friends has been enormous.  I didn't use MIND but they provide so many services that the NHS is unable to give and I think deserve as much support as they can get.
