Books with title Mental Wellbeing

It is estimated that one in four British people suffer from a diagnosable mental health disorder at some point in their lives, and new figures have revealed that England spends over ?100 billion on mental health-related costs. 'Mental Wellbeing' offers a comprehensive overview of this broad subject, looking at specific mental health disorders including bipolar, depression and schizophrenia, as well as at social attitudes to mental ill health and how those living with a mental illness deal with the stigma which still surrounds the subject. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper articles, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.

One in four people will experience a mental health problem in any given year, which makes it an extremely important issue in society today. This book explores what mental health really is by addressing the myths and stigma surrounding mental illness. It also looks at managing mental wellbeing through various techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and even diet.
