Closed Petition to abolish prescription charges for antidepressants

Closed on

Depression is an extremely difficult illness, made harder by the costs of regular prescriptions each month for antidepressants. The government should help people with depression by helping them with the costs of medication as it is a serious illness. The costs incurred by the antidepressants can cause difficulties both mentally and financially which prolong the recovery time.
