With over 400 million users, Instagram is awash with over-edited beauty ideals and luxurious lifestyles that can leave some people questioning their self-worth. To combat this, the social platform has launched a new tool intended to support people with mental health issues.

In 2013, men represented 78% of UK suicides, and it’s the leading cause of death for men between the ages of 20 and 34, standing at 24%. The Eaton Foundation was launched to create a safe space for men to work through their issues, and it's now opened the UK’s first male-only mental health centre.

The global cost of mental healthcare is set to exceed $6 trillion by 2030, and as dementia, depression and anxiety afflict a greater number of people, it’s unlikely that existing treatment options will be able to meet demand. Can tech, drugs or video games provide a viable alternative?

The Western world is in the grip of an anxiety epidemic, yet while rates of mental illness have surged, health services have struggled to keep up. Could effective care be delivered by an app? That’s the goal of Joyable, which offers CBT treatments to social anxiety sufferers through their smartphones.
