Is this course for you?
When enrolling on this course, you will develop an in-depth look and insight into what is meant by ‘Mental Health’ and ‘Mental Health Problems’. One in four British adults experiences at least one mental health problem each year. The most common is mixed anxiety and depression, but there are so many other issues, which have a huge impact on a person’s life and the people around them. This is why this course is essential for people to study, as almost everyone will be affected by a mental health problem at some point in their life.
The units that we will cover are:
- Understanding stress
- Understanding anxiety
- Understanding phobias
- Understanding depression
- Understanding postnatal depression
- Understanding bipolar disorder
- Understanding schizophrenia
- Understanding dementia
- Understanding eating disorders
- Understanding attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – ADHD

Each unit is interesting and enjoyable and case-studies are provided for you to learn from and reflect upon.
The qualification is suitable for anyone who wishes to increase their knowledge of mental health problems, the factors that cause mental ill-health and the ways that mental health problems can be managed. The course is also suitable for those who already work in this area, anyone who wants to secure a job linked to mental health and anyone who wants to gain more knowledge for personal reasons.
