Mental health charity Richmond Fellowship has hit out against 'Blue Monday' for trivialising depression and other mental health problems.
But with 1 in 10 people living with a clinical diagnosis of depression, Richmond Fellowship argue it is important to remind people about the reality of living with a mental health problem every day of the year, and not just 'Blue Monday'.
"Having a single day devoted to talking about the topic is simply not enough, we should be talking about it every day, or even every couple of days – we owe it to the man down the street who is more likely to take his own life because he's under 45, or that someone in our life who has just lost a loved one.
