Panic Attacks
Up to 1 in 3 people have a panic attack at some point in their life. Whilst panic attacks can occur in everyone, they are particularly common in teenagers and tend to flare up around exam season. If you or someone you know is suffering from panic attacks, please visit NoPanic, Rochdale’s registered charity for those who suffer from panic attacks.

Social Anxiety
Social anxiety is a condition that can develop during your teenage years and can have drastic effects on the way you live your life. For some, it will simply go away as you get older, but for others, it will remain until you receive treatment. If you believe your social anxiety is having a big effect on your daily life, then you should contact your GP. For further help and support, you can visit the Rochdale Mind Social Café every Tuesday from 10:00am-12:00pm
