WIMS Live 2022 has been all about shining a light on some mental health difficulties that are less talked about or less understood, such as psychosis, personality disorders, and bipolar disorder.
Throughout the week of the campaign, we're sharing brand new videos and expert information from clinicians in St Patrick's Mental Health Services (SPMHS); personal stories of mental health journeys and recovery from people who have gone through challenges themselves; and much more.

Sharing lived experience
We kicked the week off with a live launch event on World Mental Health Day, hosted by RTÉ's Jan Ní Fhlanagáin. The event focused on hearing from mental health advocate Charlotte Frorath; SeeChange ambassador Gary Anderson; and former Dublin GAA minor and Under 21s hurler, Cormac Ryan.
Bipolar disorder
On Day One of WIMS Live, we focused on bipolar disorder.
Personality disorders
Day Two of WIMS Live gave us the opportunity to explore personality disorders.
Eating disorders
Eating disorders came under the spotlight on Day Three of WIMS Live.

For Day Four of WIMS Live, we looked at psychosis and schizophrenia.
