One in four young people aged 16 to 24 are struggling with mental health issues - according to a major independent review commissioned by the government.
Professor Peter Fonagy, who led the investigation, dismissed claims that the current young generation are "snowflakes" - and said there had been a significant rise in distress, anxiety and depression.

The latest reports about the increasing cost of PIP can at least be partly explained by the migration from adult DLA on to PIP, which will mean that the cost of adult DLA will eventually hit zero. Also, this process was meant to be completed years ago, but it wasn't.

DNS is looking for examples from the last few months of broadcasters, particularly BBC News and Sky News, that have failed to challenge claims that spending on 'welfare' is spiralling out of control and needs to be cut. Examples with links to video would be most useful. Thank you

'Brain fog' is something a lot of people with MS will recognise. Trouble finding words, concentrating or thinking quickly. It's one of MS's invisible symptoms.
You're not alone. Info and support 👇

Maria was a very vibrant person, but after struggling at work and having issues with orientation, she was diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer’s disease when she was 56 years old. James was 45.
As her #dementia progressed, their friends and a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse were a vital source of support. When the time came for Maria to move into a care home, James felt it was important to find culturally appropriate care.
You can read James' story in full on the Dementia UK website: dementiauk.org/information-a…

We have begun legal action against the Government over its U-turn on removing the General Medical Council’s right to appeal its own Tribunal's decisions.
It is unfair and undermines doctors’ trust in the regulator.
