Mental health careers – Question and answers – Zakiyyah Muhammad

In my role as an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. It means I work with a range of people from a range of different backgrounds and a range of different professionals who have either a diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health illness or have concerns around their mental health.

So that can be something like depression or anxiety, concerns about their relationship and family and domestic violence, parenting attachment, and also those mental health illnesses that are more diagnosed around bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder or schizophrenia.

And more recently, we have been working with lots of people with undiagnosed ADHD or going through that process at the moment.
