Money is one of the biggest causes of stress in adults, and stress is the gateway to all sorts of mental health issues. So it’s a no-brainer that if you can feel comfortable and in control of your finances, you’re more likely to avoid spiralling into a mental health crisis. 

In this episode we are going to take a close look at how finance can trigger depression, anxiety and, in extreme cases, even cause people to take their own lives. 

Money has a stranglehold on many of us, but it doesn’t have to. I know, because I used to have severe money issues – credit cards, debt collectors, you name it. 

So believe me when I tell you that the advice in this podcast comes from experience. Do not make the same mistakes I made. 

And remember, if you are struggling with money or you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed, please reach out and get help.

"There's a stigma in this world that men can't talk. Listen, if you're a man and you've got a weight on your shoulders and you think the only way you can solve it is by killing yourself - please speak to someone. Speak to anyone. I know I'd rather me mate cry on my shoulder than go to his funeral next week." So please, let's get rid of this stigma and men start talking." - Paddy Pimblett, UFC Athlete
