Feeling low, stressed or anxious

Self-help Guide on Depression and Low Mood

The aim of this guide is to give you techniques on how to cope if you are feeling low and feel it is getting in the way of your life and studies. And this guide will tell you more about stress and help you see if stress is a problem for you. It makes simple suggestions about how to manage stress and what other help may be available.
