Name: Katie Finch
Age: 21
Year of the Fix: 2016
Location: Bristol
Campaign: Mental Health Myths

I experienced anxiety and depression when I was at school and as I have grown up my diagnosis has morphed into cyclothemia which is a type of bipolar disorder.

 

Friends and I have experienced stigma because of a lack of understanding around mental health and now we want to bust common mental health myths.

 

I think it is important to educate people and help them understand the realities behind mental illness.

 

We have created a series of animations about various mental health issues such as social anxiety and eating disorders to help challenge people's misconception of poor mental health.
