Mental Wellbeing

Mental wellbeing affects us all. It’s everything from our mood and emotions, to our confidence and our ability to cope.

This isn’t just about helping people with a diagnosed mental illness. Improving your mental wellbeing makes you better able to deal with life’s big trials and small stresses.

Like going to the gym for your mind.

It's normal to feel sad, anxious or stressed some of the time. But if it’s affecting your day-to-day life, you might need specialist help.

Acute mental health conditions are more common than you might think. In fact, almost one in five Irish people have conditions such as depression, anxiety or alcohol dependence.

If you feel you need help, we encourage you to take the first step and reach out to a medical professional. They can listen to you, and discuss your concerns and symptoms with you in confidence. Then they can recommend the next step and give you a referral if you need one.

Take the first step with laya healthcare
