These common mental health conditions include a variety of disorders which can cause emotional distress and interfere with daily life, with one in five (20.2%) adults in England having a common mental health condition.1
Mental health is a universal aspect of our lives. Everyone, including you and your colleagues, will experience periods of good mental health and times when it can negatively affect your overall wellbeing, much like physical health.
