Money worries and mental health problems are an issue which has come under the spotlight during this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week which runs until Sunday, May 15.
The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), which provides the MoneyHelper.org.uk free guidance service, is encouraging everyone to seek help if they are worried about money, whether it’s for themselves or a loved one, such as a friend or family member.
Its research indicates that people who have experienced a mental health problem in the past three years are more likely to be at risk of falling into serious money problems than those who have not.
