Daily Mail writer Clare Foges has opened up about her teenage struggle with crippling anxiety, revealing in a recent column how pushing herself to attend college and work helped alleviate her symptoms. She argues that 'for those with milder depression, anxiety or ADHD, the benefits system is doing them no favours'.

Foges' personal experience raises a pressing question: Does Britain's benefits culture truly support people with mental health problems, or does it inadvertently hinder their recovery? The columnist suggests that for some, the system may encourage dependency rather than active coping strategies.
