Just came across this article on the Guardian news website. It's hardly an article in fact. I've seen more words written on a postage stamp but I recognised the image they used! See if you recognise it!

It's not her, it's her twin on the other side of the wall. They aren't speaking.

So someone else used that photo hahaha. I think we got it from I-stock photos so I guess a few places will use it.

The person in the photo Pip is the one we use on NMP as well so not a real person that wrote the article in the Guardian link.

My problem is I read the article, then read all the comments and contradictory advice and then go on to read the related articles at the bottom of the page - another hour gone!

This was a good read though but more about depression than anxiety

Well they are a "real" person but not the one that the article refers to :)

Nic you should run a competition to have one of us as the 'FACE' of NMP! I'm happy to take a photo of myself looking miserable like the stock image woman haha.

Good idea. I'll stop taking my medication for a couple of days and then take a photo of myself. On second thoughts, we should be welcoming people to the site, not scaring them half to death. I could definitely give that woman a run for her money on how to look anxious though...

I'll take a photo of a few of the patients in this ward! I think those photos would be more suitable to a different sort of website though to be honest!!
