People across North Ayrshire who suffer from mental ill health are being urged to speak out.
This year’s World Health Day, which was yesterday (Friday), focused on depression and urged those with the frightening, debilitating condition to talk.
Depression can affect anyone at any age, from all walks of life. It causes mental anguish and affects people’s ability to carry out everyday tasks, with sometimes devastating consequences for relationships with family and friends. At its worst, it can lead to suicide.
