In this special episode, Dr. Kathryn Bates and Afraa Din, our young person advisor, ask clinical psychologist and researcher, Dr. Eleanor Chatburn, what is mental health vs. mental illness?
There is so much information about mental health from news articles to infographics on Instagram to people with lived experience sharing their stories on Tiktok.
How do we make sense of it all? How do we know how to look after our own mental health and to know when we need support? We asked Dr. Chatburn these important questions.
