Mind’s information and support directory

Mental health can be confusing. There are so many different symptoms, conditions, treatments, acronyms and organisations, and it can feel overwhelming trying to understand what you or a colleague is experiencing.

These pages from Mind explain a wide range of mental health terms and concepts, including types of problems, helping others, drugs, treatments and legal rights.

This guide is ideal if someone has disclosed a mental condition to you and you would like to learn more, or if you have heard terms you are uncertain of.
