Research is an important way of supporting vulnerable people.
Research can provide solutions and minimise suffering.
Addington Fund is a farming charity and regularly takes calls from farmers on the fringe of mental health issues. In an industry where solitude and isolation is 'normal' this sector of society often get overlooked.

I have suffered from anxiety and depression for years now and as 1 in 4 of us will suffer from it in their life time it needs all the support it can get.
I am supporting Research Mental Health because all my life I have suffered mental health and I feel like I've never been taken seriously and the support services have been so poor I feel the Mental Health Service needs an overhaul to really help people who struggle to find stability and understanding. I'm trying to live a normal life but my condition makes it so difficult I could do with extra support, I'm worried that these budget cuts will seriously affect myself and others like me.
more and more people seem to be under increased daily presures with employment, relationship and family issues. In todays society it is getting increasingly hard for people to cope and one extra problem can tip people into sever depression, and although these issues are unavoidable they can have major reprocussions with terrible outcomes for the sufferer and their families.
I have lived with mental health issues in members of my family for the last tenyears that I have known about.
Mental health issues are likely to affect us or those closest to us at some point. Hopefully more research will provide more effective treatments with less side effects.
