Mental health and ME

Hello

Last night, I watched a program, on BBC1, on mens mental health, and why so many young men, are committing suicide.

The answer with the few they spoke to,  was due to loss of identity, and inability to express themselves emotionally for whatever reason.


It got me thinking about ME and mental health. ME is a very destructive illness, it does affect ones mental health its bound to.


So what can be done about it.


There are services, to help us, should we wish to.
