It takes courage to admit that you need help.

This is just to clarify that The Noisy Brain website and Community App and its contents do not constitute expert medical advice. 

Many submissions are curated and contributed to by our community members who have lived experiences with mental or emotional health illnesses who are encouraged to share their stories. These ‘writings’ creatively express members lived experience of their conditions, this openness and honesty is helping towards ending the stigma of mental and emotional health illnesses. 

We believe that the more people who are willing to talk openly and write openly, the more people will relate, feel less alone, less isolated and be willing to share their own stories without stigma keeping them trapped.

These pieces are not medical experts advice and if you are struggling you should definately consult with your GP or mental health team.

By submitting us your writing you give us permission to publish your work on the site but you can email us to have it removed at any time and we will do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.

Because this website and community app posts writing about mental health, and often, severe mental illness, it’s likely that much of the content is triggering. If you are sensitive to content about themes such as suicide and psychosis, please do not use this site. 

If you are struggling with your mental health, there are several places you can reach out for help. Contact your GP, your mental health team or even visit an accident and emergency department.
