flag A UK campaign urges clearer language to distinguish normal emotions from clinical mental illness, aiming to improve support and care.

flag A national campaign, Rethinking Mental Health Together, launched by Synolos CIC in Oxfordshire, urges the public to distinguish between everyday emotions and clinical mental illness. flag Led by founder Barry Ingleton, who lives with bipolar disorder, the initiative warns that using clinical terms for normal emotional experiences can blur understanding, weaken support for serious conditions, and strain mental health services. flag It calls for clearer language, improved early prevention, and updates to the Mental Health Act to better differentiate emotional states from diagnosable illnesses. flag A live event in Witney on March 6 will bring together community, education, and health leaders, with online streaming, and the campaign welcomes input from all sectors to foster a more accurate and compassionate national approach to mental health.
