Documentary has made young people consider their mental health

New research has shown that young people who watched a frank documentary about mental health said they were more likely to seek help for their own issues.

The survey of more than 2,000 young people, conducted after the screening of the acclaimed ’’My Other Life’’ documentary on RTÉ, also showed that for both the group that watched the programme and the group that did not tune in, body image was one of the main causes of stress, alongside family and ahead of issues such as relationships, school and money.
