Mental health is a very big, very complicated subject, with lots of different elements. There are also a lot of different treatment strategies, after all, there are also a lot of different people in the world. There will be different sections on this page, that will be added to and re-organised at various points in time. Hopefully, there will be something on here that could help you or someone that you know going through difficulties.
