What type of issues does SANEmail deal with?
We offer support to anyone affected by mental health issues. SANEmail is committed to helping those who are ill as well as their families, carers and health professionals. Mental illnesses affect 1 in 4 of us at some point in our lives. These include depression and bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, obsessions, phobias and borderline personality disorder, to name but a few. These conditions can leave people confused and isolated and this in turn can lead to profound feelings of despair and even thoughts of suicide. There are many misconceptions about mental illness, often fuelled by the images that we see on television and the ‘scare stories’ that we read in the media, so sometimes people may not feel comfortable discussing these issues with friends or family members.
