WATCH: Dublin GAA club’s video on mental health is pretty powerful

We all know the importance of mental health, but do we always act on it in the best way?

That's what Dublin GAA club, Cuala have picked up on in their compelling video on mental health.

The short clip shows how people treat physical illness compared to mental illness and how we need to care for BOTH.

“What if you couldn’t play the next match, wouldn’t you tell your teammates and your coach?" it asks.

“Wouldn’t you get help from a trained professional and look after yourself?

“And if a teammate was down, wouldn’t you lift them back up?”

The film's producer Colmán McKenna said: "What we wanted to do with the video was to open a discussion about how we look after our mental health, and to try and normalise it, by comparing our mental health to our physical health."
