Mental Health Jargon Buster

Why might it be of interest?

When you have contact with any health services, including mental health services, you may find professionals using jargon without explaining the meaning to you.  This guide from RB Mind tells you about what terms mean.

You should always ask professionals to explain if you don’t understand a term they use.
