No debt problems are unsolvable. It might not be easy or quick, but there’s always a route. When mental health problems are involved, some special solutions apply.
Martin Lewis, founder of the website Money Saving Expert, has co-created a free 44-page PDF booklet supported by Mind, Rethink and other mental health and advice services, for people with mental health problems and those caring for them.
The booklet covers how to handle debts when unwell, work with banks, free debt counselling, specific tips for bipolar disorder or depression sufferers, whether to declare a condition and more. It is suitable for those that need help and advice, as well as those who may be supporting others with mental health challenges and debt.
