More InfoMany people with depression, anxiety (obsessive compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder) and trauma will be helped by the psychological therapies (IAPT) and wellbeing services.
People with a diagnosis of health anxiety (also called ‘hypochondriasis’) believe they may have a serious physical illness which their doctor has not been able to identify or diagnose.
More InfoIndividuals suffering from low mood or depression have typically been feeling down or depressed on more days than not for a number of weeks. Characteristic symptoms of depression are chronic feelings of sadness, a loss of interest in activities the person previously enjoyed, a loss of appetite and/or weight, concentration difficulties, and feelings of hopelessness.
More InfoIndividuals suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) typically experience negative thoughts or images which they perceive as unwanted, distasteful or distressing, and they may feel compelled to perform certain behaviours to reduce the anxiety associated with having these thoughts or images (e.g., praying, checking, or cleaning).
More InfoIndividuals with panic disorder experience recurrent ‘attacks’ of severe anxiety, with numerous physical symptoms and a catastrophic interpretation of those symptoms.
More InfoA phobia is a persistent fear of a specific object or situation, which is out of proportion or excessive. This fear often causes individuals to avoid situations or suffer through them, as the situation or object will produce a high level of distress.

Serious mental illness (SMI) commonly refers to a diagnosis of psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, complex depression and anxiety disorders, and eating disorders.
Bipolar disorder can be a life-long mental health problem that mainly affects your mood. It affects how you feel, and your mood can change massively.
Our personality is the collection of characteristics that make us distinctive as people. How you think, how you feel about stuff, how you behave. This develops and adapts as you grow up and have different relationships and experiences.
Long-term health conditions can be physically demanding. They can also affect you mentally and emotionally. Depression, anxiety and sometimes anger are common responses reported by people with a long term health condition.
