What’s going wrong with our mental health?

Martin Geissler and Laura Miller ask why so many of us are struggling with mental health problems. With Scotland’s ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ of the Year judge Anna Campbell-Jones.

Charity Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH) says it has 'waited long enough' for ministers to improve access to mental health treatment and announced it will create walk-in centres across the country.

With 11% of us now reporting a mental health problem, we ask Billy Watson from SAMH and Scotland’s ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ of the Year judge Anna Campbell-Jones, who’s helped design the centres, why so many of us say we are struggling compared to a decade ago.

Scotcast is the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
