Who, or more precisely what, do you think is to blame for the mental health epidemic throughout the UK? Some people claim it is the role of social media; others the ever augmenting pressures in regards to linear examinations i.e. GCSEs; others claim it is the failure of governments and schools, past and present, to accommodate demands. From your personal experiences and your seemingly interminable bank of knowledge and understanding, who is to blame?
I, like many people my age, sadly, have anxiety disorder - a debilitating condition that prevents me from reaching my potential - socially and academically. What should people with mental health conditions like anxiety and depression do? - when schools fail to accommodate; when the NHS pushes us aside; when we feel friends and society 'won't understand' rather simply believing that all mental health conditions are the same, when, in fact, it is a vast spectrum.
