Nearly Half of Kiwis Affected by Mental Illness

It is one of society's most delicate issues, but research released yesterday shows that nearly half of all Kiwis have in some way been affected by mental illness. The independent study was commissioned by Movember, a charity which encourages men to grow moustaches during November to help raise awareness and funds in support of men's health. Money raised by Movember will be donated to the Mental Health Foundation of NZ for its 'Out of the Blue' depression awareness campaign and to the Cancer Society of New Zealand in support of prostate cancer.  Click title above to view full media release.
