What’s going wrong with our mental health?


Listen Later

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 Home 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 BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
