The team at Mindspot have found through their research that there are five key actions that you can do that leads to better mental health. There is a tipping point – people who do the Big Five activities at least 3-4 times each week are more likely to have good mental health, but people who don’t do them that often are likely to have poor mental health, including symptoms of depression and anxiety.

October is Mental Health Month, which provides a perfect opportunity to start a conversation about mental health and wellbeing. 1 in 5 Australians will experience a mental illness this year. And sadly, we know that 60% of people with a mental illness will not seek help.
