Mental health problems can affect anyone at any point in their life. Around one in four people will suffer from some form of diagnosable mental health problem during their lifetime. The most common forms of mental health problems are anxiety, stress and depression, but there are many others including bipolar, schizophrenia, eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
