VICE is known for traveling the planet and covering underreported stories from hard-to-reach corners of the globe, but today we're launching a series of articles focusing on something much more internal. The VICE Guide to Mental Health is a collection of essays and reports that explore some of the issues that affect the mental well-being of people around the world.Forty percent of working adults in Sweden are or have been on sick leave due to mental illness and though this generation is undoubtably more open about these issues than previous ones, mental illness is often still considered a tough thing to talk about. Perhaps that collective reticence is one reason why the work we have published in this arena in the past has been some of our most popular.In a way, then, this is a collection of articles that we've been pushed toward by those young people who engage with VICE every day. And because this is such a universal issue, we're proud to be launching it in 15 countries simultaneously, with contributions from many of our international offices.We'd like to thank the organisations who have been so helpful and supportive in getting these stories together, as well as our UK senior editor, Eleanor Morgan, who worked night and day to pull the majority of this package together.– VICEWhat Are Recreational Drugs Doing to Our Mental Health?Where Did My OCD Come From?How Do You Help Someone You Love When They're Depressed?Female Hormones Can Make a Bloody Mess of Your Mental HealthWhy I'll Never Stop Taking ProzacMy Fear of Vomit: The Nightmare of Living with EmetophobiaHow It Actually Feels to Live with Severe AnxietyThe Internet Is Not a DoctorWhy Mental Health Disorders Emerge in Your Early TwentiesThe Life, Death and Possible Resurrection of the AsylumAmerica's Long History of Drugging Women UpDoes Having Casual Sex Make You Depressed?
