Petition mental health help for 16-18

More details

I think it is disgraceful how much little help there is for mental health from the ages of 16-18.

At 16 I developed an eating disorder and due to the very limited help I've had, now nearly 18 i'm still struggeling as I've aslo been diagnosed with depression. There is very limited help for this age group and this needs to be changed.

More money needs to be funded into the NHS for all types of mental illness but especially for the ages of 16-18. Just like me, many other teenagers have taken another episode in their illness and have got worse due to the lack of help out there for us.
