Modern life pressures, such as heavy workloads, work-life imbalance, and uncertainty all across the globe have significantly contributed in affecting mental health.
According to RedArc, a UK‑based organisation that provides emotional, practical, and clinical support, have flagged these above-mentioned stressors and especially social media as a major cause.
Data from Rethink Mental Illness discovered people are eight times more likely to wait over 18 months for publicly funded mental health treatment in contrast to physical health care.
Furthermore, RedArc cautioned that delays can aggravate mental health, highlighting the significance of timely intervention.
By comparison, RedArc’s own data revealed that early access to support can bring rapid enhancement.
Meanwhile, individuals who are suffering from mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression, nearly 83% of patients recover within three to four months after seeking professional help.
Christine Husbands, commercial consultant at RedArc, stresses that recovery needs qualified clinical practitioners and tailored support.
“Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all—support must be available as long as needed, as individual circumstances vary and can change over time.”
Mental health support is increasingly accessible via insurers and employers. However, it should be seen as a proactive resource, rather than only a crisis solution.
Early use of these services may prevent further decline and promote better outcomes.
