BBC Two - Coping

Five young people share their problems ranging from anorexia to depression.

Five young people phone in to a night-time radio show with host Aled Haydn Jones to share their problems ranging from anorexia to depression, and OCD to self-harm.

Adolescence can be an emotional assault course, yet teenage mental health is rarely discussed. In this powerful film, five young people phone in to a night-time radio show to share their problems with host Aled Haydn Jones. While the radio show is staged, the callers are real, and so are their stories. This series offers case studies of problems relevant to young people - from anorexia to depression, OCD to self-harm. It ties into the mental and emotional wellbeing section of the national curriculum.
