Two surveys regarding mental health announced recently, have revealed both positive behaviour changes in regards to mental health discrimination nationally and significant concerns in respect of accessing mental health support in Scotland.

A YouGov survey in conjunction with SAMH (Scottish Association for Mental Health) reveals that one in five adults in Scotland do not know where to go for help if they had concerns about their mental health.

In contrast, findings for a new study published 1/5/12  in the journal Psychiatric Services, show improvements in behaviour towards people with mental health problems in England, thanks in part to the national ant-stigma programme, Time to Change.
