More details
Mental illness can hit anyone at any time it does not care for who you are, occupation, status, beliefs, race or sexuality and so forth. I’m most certain we all want the help to be available for our loved ones in a reasonable time-frame.
It’s also crusial GP’s are offered further education in mental health to make sure every patient has a plan of action and appropriate referrals made for the right support, not just a prescription for anti-depressants to hand.
