Hi guys!

i myself upload videos twice a week on mental health related things helping young people speak out about their problems, helping them etc.
There isnt many 'mental health youtubers' out there
so id really like to know your opinion?

So erm what do you guys talk about in mental health videos? That way I can have a better understanding of them.

I think they are fine as long as the videos aren't giving mental health advice. I think that kinda advice should come from a professional.

Example; ways to deal with selfharm etc.[DOUBLEPOST=1381420947,1381420845][/DOUBLEPOST]

i agree with this there are youtubers out there that may act 'professional' , Professionals have watched my videos & have said my content is fab which is a good thing.

I think it gives them someone to go to, if they don't want to reach out they can just look at a youtube video :3

As someone with a few mental health issues myself, I think it's great that there are people out there, that cares enough to try to help. Different people needs different help and advice on simular problems. While the advice you give might not work for some, it probably can help others, which is a great thing!

In my opinion, keep doing what you're doing

It's kind of scary to go to a doctor or psychologist so sometimes yeah I can agree with mental health videos .

But when it begins to go into telling people what they should do then a professional is a better way to go.

As long as you're being clear that these are your opinions about some issues and what has worked for you. I'd also start with telling the viewers to consult a professional, especially if it's a sever matter.

I think it's a great idea though and a great source for someone to get help.

^That
Could end up doing more harm than good.
Also, maybe try to speak mainly of things you have a bit of experience with, otherwise it's a bit..eh
