Researchers talked to 24 young people in their own homes. Find out what people said about issues such as symptoms, treatments and impact on school, university and social life.

We hope you find the information helpful and reassuring.

The people we talked to were given the choice about the format their interview appears on the website. Some people chose for their interview clips to be featured as audio or text only, rather than video.
