Hi, my name is Anna, @OssAnna16 and I am mentally
ill.
The M Word Anna Ossowski @OssAnna16 PyLondinium 2019
Trigger Warning • Depression • Anxiety • Self-harm • Suicidal
thoughts @OssAnna16
Disclaimer I’m not a doctor. @OssAnna16
Some numbers 1 in 4 people in the UK will
experience a mental health problem each year. @OssAnna16
1 in 6 people report experiencing a mental health problem
in any given week. @OssAnna16
1 in 5 people have had suicidal thoughts. 1 in
15 people have attempted suicide. @OssAnna16
This is my story... @OssAnna16
Depression The symptoms of depression can be complex and vary
widely between people. But as a general rule, if you're depressed, you feel sad, hopeless and lose interest in things you used to enjoy. @OssAnna16
The symptoms persist for weeks or months and are bad
enough to interfere with your work, social life and family life. @OssAnna16
Anxiety Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry
or fear, that can be mild or severe. Everyone has feelings of anxiety at some point in their life @OssAnna16
[...] but some people find it hard to control their
worries. Their feelings of anxiety are more constant and can often affect their daily lives. @OssAnna16
