Mental Health Awareness Week

Y thema ar gyfer wythnos Ymwybyddiaeth Iechyd Meddwl 2023 yw Gorbryder.

Mae gorbryder yn emosiwn dynol pwysig ond, mewn rhai amgylchiadau, gall fynd allan o reolaeth a dod yn broblem iechyd meddwl.

Gall llawer o bethau gwahanol gyfrannu at deimladau o orbryder, yn cynnwys arholiadau, perthnasoedd, swydd newydd, dêt neu newid mawr mewn bywyd. Mae hefyd yn emosiwn y mae pobl yn aml yn ei deimlo mewn cysylltiad ag arian a ddim gallu cwrdd ag anghenion sylfaenol bywyd.

Gorbryder hefyd yw un o'r problemau iechyd meddwl mwyaf cyffredin y mae pobl yn ei wynebu. Yn ôl arolwg a gynhaliwyd gennym yn ddiweddar, mae chwarter o oedolion yn teimlo mor bryderus fel ei fod yn eu hatal rhag gwneud y pethau maent eisiau eu gwneud rhywfaint o’r amser neu drwy'r amser. Mae chwech ym mhob deg oedolyn yn teimlo fel hyn o leiaf weithiau.

Y newyddion da yw bod posib gwneud gorbryder yn haws i’w reoli. Drwy ganolbwyntio ar orbryder ar gyfer Wythnos Ymwybyddiaeth Iechyd Meddwl 2023, rydym am wella dealltwriaeth y cyhoedd o orbryder a rhannu rhai o’r pethau a all helpu i’w atal rhag dod yn broblem. Rydym hefyd eisiau parhau â'r galw am newid - i wneud yn siŵr bod gwella iechyd meddwl yn flaenoriaeth allweddol i'r llywodraeth a'n cymdeithas.

Uncertain times: Anxiety in the UK and how to tackle it

Read our in-depth look at anxiety in the UK. Based on a survey of 6,000 UK adults, the report examines what anxiety is, who’s experiencing it in the UK, how we’re coping and the things we can do to help to manage those feelings.
