NHS Choices - Mental Health information

If you're having mental health problems, you're not alone. One in four of us will have problems with our mental health at some time in our lives.

Mental health problems are equally common in men and women, but the types of problems differ. Women are more than twice as likely to be affected by depression, while men suffer more from substance abuse (80% of those dependent on alcohol are men). Men are also more prone to suicide: British men are three times more likely than British women to die as a result of suicide.
