A survey has revealed that in UK, roughly 6 out of 10 people (62%) have, at least one time in their life, had difficulty to cope mentally to various outside pressures of the world.

Together, a mental health charity stated that the figures showed that 62%of the total population, facing a crisis at some time, indicates that there should be an end to a “them and us” attitude on the topic of mental health.

According to the research, 70% of people surveyed had suffered stress, 59% of them had suffered anxiety and 55% of them, depression.

Liz Felton, ex-psychiatric nurse and the charity's Chief Executive, said, “This research shows that mental health and wellbeing is an issue relevant to most people, not just those with diagnosed issues”.

“We hope the results go some way to try and reduce the 'them and us' mentality about the topic that can lead to stigma, and perhaps prevents some people from seeking help, or talking about what they're going through when they need to”, he said.

Matthew Hyndman, who was supported by the charity at one point, said, “I was bullied at university and it put me into a downward spiral to the point where most of my days were spent in the house staring at the television”.

“I now realize this is the worst thing you can do, because the more isolated you become, the harder and more unimaginable it seems that you will ever have the courage to enter 'normal' life again. It was like a vicious circle, but one I broke in the end”, he added.
