"Anxiety is a normal emotion in us all, but sometimes it can get out of control and become a mental health problem… a quarter of adults said they felt so anxious that it stopped them from doing the things they want to do some or all of the time. 6 in 10 adults feel this way, at least some of the time" Mental Health Foundation research (mentalhealth.org.uk). Healthwatch Suffolk report that 2 in 5 young people report ‘moderate’ to ‘severe’ levels of anxiety and the NHS widely share that 1 in 6 children under 16 have probable mental disorders.
