Hermsen LAH, Leone SS, Smalbrugge M, Dekker J, van der Horst HE (2014) Frequency, severity and determinants of functional limitations in older adults with joint pain and comorbidity: results of a cross-sectional study. Arch Gerontol Geriatr 59:98–106. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.archger.2014.02.006 Cognitive therapy (CBT) is an effective technique to help with depression and allow a person who is coping with depression to come out the other side and to lead a normal and healthy life. Studies have shown that by using Cognitive therapy for depression it has become an important and effective tool to help a person to manage severe or chronic depression. You may appear calm and high functioning, instead of ‘exploding’, you implode and collapse from within. Your arms and legs may be covered with scars, but you hide them. Your heart is close to breaking, but you never want to burden anyone around you. But he felt consumed with rage, rage that would get him into trouble: at 23, he was jailed for assaulting a bouncer. “I needed help,” he tells me. “I was either going to kill myself or kill the perpetrator – or both.”
And here, again, we see the consequences of gender norms imprisoning men: in the UK the biggest killer of men under 45 is suicide, often because they feel unable to get the support they need. “To support boys and men, we need to adopt a new language: that it’s OK to be vulnerable,” Craig tells me. “I know now my own vulnerability is my strength … that holding it means no one else is holding it against me. It’s my weapon to cut through dark times.” Male survivors are suffering, largely in silence: but it’s not because they don’t want to talk. How we build a society that frees them to do so: that is the challenge we must all answer. Mental illness is a treatable condition much like hypertension or diabetes. If you had to go to a doctor for either of these conditions, you probably would not call yourself weak-willed or weak-minded. In the same way, mental health conditions do not translate to weakness. There are two specific reasons why: we’re afraid of being judged, and above all, showing our vulnerability. Because in this ruthless world it’s the strong personalities that win. The ones that put up with everything, don’t complain, and instead are models of optimism and self-confidence.Do you spiral into crushing depression or tend to isolate yourself at the slightest mistake you feel you have made in your interactions with people? But I want to use this privileged role that I have as Secretary of State to do right by his memory, but also the memories of thousands of others each year who have left us before their time, by preventing more people from going down the same devastating path. This was a time when our mental health system, just like others across the world, was put under huge strain. People who have suffered from depression or are currently fighting it know the meaning of “ suffering in silence.” Someone asks you why you were absent from work, or maybe they are curious to know why you seem a little more crestfallen, thinner, more apathetic. Sometimes it is easier to say that we have the flu, something easier to accept and understand than what’s really ailing you: your depression.When we say the word “depression,” many do not know how to react. They can’t just say, “It will pass” or “Those pills will fix you right up.” The process is much more complex, deeper, and challenging than that. Despite the numerous self-help books that are published each year, none of them seem to have the answer to our problems. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies are getting richer and richer because of the increase in use of antidepressants and anxiolytics, which are being prescribed by more primary care providers and psychiatric doctors every day. It’s a vicious cycle in which one thing inevitably leads to another and there does not seem to be a way out.
I heard heart-breaking tales of love and loss but also inspirational stories of the work being done to divert people from this painful path, including, of course, the work of Papyrus here.

The money we are investing today will work specifically for children on therapies that are proven to work.

When someone offends or hurts you, they become someone you hate (all bad). They are more likely to emerge when people are alone or perhaps late at night and we hear from our charity partners that their helplines are often busiest between the hours of 9pm and midnight.

We’re social beings, and yet most of us choose to suffer in a solitary way. We prefer to share laughter, good moments.
