A recent poll revealed that 1 in 4 students suffers from mental health problems, rising to 1 in 3 among female students. This can affect your ability to study effectively and even forces some students to give up their courses altogether. Sarah looks at the link between money and mental health and what support is available.

Welcome to This is Money, presented in partnership with NS&I. On this episode we're seeing the quicksand deepening for savers, as another base rate cut looms, and savings rates plummet through the floor. Bad news especially those under 30, the so-called Millenials or YOLO Generation. But is it their fault they know so little about money, and have even less hope for the future? We'll also be looking at some spare change that could bring you a mint, critical illness insruance that doesn't necessarily cover you for critical illnesses, and the greatest weapon in the fight against scammers: Information. This is Money is presented by Georgie Frost, in partnership with NS&I

This week Sarah looks at how ISAs work. What are the different types available now, and how do they all work? Are they still the best option for savers? Figures published last week showed that 12.7m people had an ISA in the tax year up to April, down slightly from 13m last year. With savings rates so low, maybe that's not surprising.

Original Broadcast: Women & Money
Why are women’s products more expensive than men’s? Women pay more for a whole range of items, including razors, some models of pen, perfume compared to aftershave and even for things like dry cleaning. So, is this a premium that's unfairly imposed on female products or is it a justified cost that manufacturers and retailers pass on?

It emerged last month that savers using the Help to Buy ISA can’t in fact use this money for a deposit, and the government was criticised for misleading hopeful homebuyers after many were left with huge holes in their budgets.
