Being a teenager is tough enough without the added complications that JIA can bring. You need to look after your mental health as much as your physical health. Speak to your doctor about how you feel and ask them for support if you need it. Share how you are feeling with members of your family if you can, too.

Having good mental health helps us relax more, achieve more and enjoy our lives more.

Below are some videos developed by Public Health England and the Department of Health through the One You service. They have kindly agreed to allow us to share these directly with you.
