Mental illness refers to mental health conditions that affect a person’s mood, thinking, and behaviour. These conditions can disrupt a person’s ability to connect with others and manage daily tasks. Mental ill health is increasingly common and impacts an individual’s psychological and emotional well-being. Many individuals suffer in silence, lacking the necessary support to cope with their condition, while others may not even recognise they have a mental health issue, enduring its harmful effects without seeking help.

Mental health awareness initiatives are crucial in helping individuals understand how mental health disorders present themselves, enabling them to seek support before their condition worsens and significantly impacts their personal or professional life. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 mandates that employers take responsibility for their employees’ health, safety, and welfare, which includes addressing mental health in the workplace.
