New report finds stress is driving nation to drink and cigarettes
1 February 2006
Automated call centres, mobile phones and computers crashing top the stress scale of modern life according to a new report from health charity DPP: Developing Patient Partnerships (DPP) . In response, over a third of men (34%) turn to alcohol and a quarter (25%) of the population resort to cigarettes to help them feel less stressed, says the DPP report. The report also highlights confusion around what stress actually is. Many people (68%) think stress is simply having a 'bad day' and 57% see it as having too much to do.

Shift launches 'Mind over matter' mental health in the media report
1 February 2006
Shift has published a new report on media coverage of mental health called Mind Over Matter: Improving Media Reporting of Mental Health. The report finds public understanding of mental health has improved enormously over recent years, as has media reporting. But prejudiced attitudes still remain deeply ingrained in society - and in the media. The report makes a series of recommendations on how to improve media reporting. It calls on government, the media and the mental health sector to work together to improve coverage, particularly of severe mental health problems. The publication is intended to kick-start a debate in the media about the reporting of mental health.
