NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is marking Mental Health Awareness Week by encouraging people to download its supported self-management resources.
My App: My Mental Health was created by NHSGGC to offer resources which support people to manage their mental health and wellbeing.
It is contained within the NHS Scotland Right Decisions: Health and Care app, which can be downloaded for free through the App Store on Apple and Android devices, or accessed via the website: https://rightdecisions.scot.nhs.uk/myapp-my-mental-health/
It provides self-management resources, information and advice on mental health concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, eating disorders and self-harm, and highlights organisations offering further support.
There are also sections specifically developed for children and young people, and for carers.
NHSGGC is encouraging people to get the app as it uses Mental Health Awareness Week to highlight the resources available.
One in six adults in the UK has a mental health condition, with mixed anxiety and depression being the most common.
The app includes a library of information on mental health symptoms, and allows people to develop coping strategies and ways to manage their conditions.
