For the last few weeks now my inbox has been crammed with emails on mental health, it could mean only one thing - Mental Health Awareness Week was upon us.

In case you don’t know, this week (15th-21st May), is Mental Health Awareness Week. In theory, it’s a great idea, mental health affects all of us and when not taken seriously can take over our lives.
