Christmas time can be very lonely for some and it's important to remember there are always supports to reach out to.
One in five adults in Ireland won't tell someone if they're feeling suicidal.
New research by St Patrick's Mental Health Services found almost half of people who have had mental health difficulties didn't seek treatment because of stigma or embarrassment.
Family concerns, personal issues and economic fears are the top three factors cited as influencing mental health and well being.
Paul Gilligan, CEO of St Patrick's Mental Health says Christmas can be lonely time but there are always supports to reach out to:
