Liam’s story
Liam loves being a new dad, but it's not always easy. After feeling down and alone, he finds support with Bupa.
Everyday life stresses can become more serious if you don’t have anyone to lean on. With Bupa health insurance, we’ll help you quickly get support for your mental health. So if you’re not yourself right now, we’re here to listen, talk, and find the care you need.
It’s great being a Dad.
Alright, so we’re up most nights.
Although there wasn't a lot I could do.
Felt like a spare part.
Not something you can talk to your wife about.
But my mates wouldn't get it, so it just cracked on.
But I knew I shouldn't feel that way.
I realised I could speak to Bupa.
They helped me find someone to talk to.
I'm getting there.
I love being a Dad.

Every year, one in four adults deals with mental health problems‡‡. So no one should ever feel embarrassed about it. Our video stories show how we’ve supported some Bupa customers on their own mental health journeys.
Jameel struggled with both anxiety and depression
‘Normal’ for Jameel meant a constant feeling of worry in the pit of his stomach. He also felt miserable, even though he was under pressure from his family to make everyone else feel happy.
Our video shows how Bupa’s health insurance helped Jameel to feel better and improve his mental health.
JAMEEL:
Being around other people is the most natural thing in the world. But to me…it’s liberating.
You don’t always realise when something’s happening to you. I know I didn’t.
I’ve always been a worrier.
From a young age, my family put a lot of pressure on me. As I got older, my anxiety spiralled
I couldn’t leave the house, I’d jump every time the doorbell rang. I was very, very low.
My wife said: “It breaks my heart to see you like this, you need help.”
I had Bupa cover through work, so I made the call to reach out.
Bupa helped me choose a therapist… I was in control of who I went to see… they were fantastic.
PAT:
With anxiety, or depression, you always worry about the next wave. So getting the right treatment for you, as quickly as possible, is really important.
From the moment you pick up the phone, we’re here for you
JAMEEL:
Between my therapist, my wife, and Bupa, my confidence is higher than it’s ever been.
I’m so grateful for everything Bupa has done for me. They’ve helped change my life.
Dealing with anxiety
A little bit of anxiety helps to keep us on our toes, but too much can be a real problem.
Coping with depression
Depression isn’t just about feeling a bit down. It’s a genuine mental health condition.
Teenage mental health
This can be a challenging time anyway, but COVID-19 may have been an extra struggle.
