Take time out for Mental Health

We all have mental health – but are we looking after it?

Scottish Association for Mental Health is encouraging people in Edinburgh to take time out for Mental Health Awareness Week. 

New figures from SAMH show that 94 per cent of us think our mental health is as or more important than our physical health; yet around a quarter of us never take time to look after it.

The figures have been revealed on World Mental Health Day (10 October) and SAMH is encouraging people in Edinburgh to mark the occasion by doing something that benefits their well-being.

Talking to friends or family was the most popular way to improve mental health, followed closely by reading, physical exercise, and listening to or playing music.

Jo Anderson, Director of External Affairs at SAMH said: “We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health, and it’s important that we look after it. This Mental Health Awareness Week we want to get people thinking about their own mental health and the kind of things that improve it. Throughout the week we’ll be highlighting ideas and inspiration, and hope that people will get involved and share their own experiences.”
