Hi All, I am Matt and have Mental Health. I have experienced Mental Health since I was 14 years old and know what it is like to live with the condition. My Mental Health is mainly depression and anxiety. I am a keen supporter of others with Mental Health and have built a support website: beatdepressiontogether.co.uk which is intended to give guidance and support to those with Mental Health, in particular children, teenagers and young adults as that was the main time I experienced Mental Health growing up, however anyone who feels supported through my work is also a positive for me.

My passion has enabled me to write a book, which I self-published known as ‘Teenage Depression Versus Me’, this is available on Lulu and Amazon .

I am a self-driven, giving person, always helping others where I can. I have won a Community Inspiration Award for my website, I was nominated twice for Young Person of the Year due to my supportive website and passion for helping Mental Health. I enjoy writing and am currently writing another book about loneliness which will be out later this year, ‘The Only One’ which I feel is something Mental Health sufferers (Like me) experience.
