This is a press release that was sent to the newspapers and radio

United Response thinks the report written by Lord Layard about depression is good.

The report says that sometimes it is good to treat depression and other mental health problems with things that are not medicine.

Su Sayer said:

"We support people with mental health needs and we are pleased that other people think other treatments work too.

"Last summer, a group of people supported by United Response did a photography project called Mental Wealth.

"They took very good photographs to show people what it is like to live with a mental health problem.

"This project helped some people. Some people felt more confident.

"Some people say the project was better for them than medicine.

"One person used public transport for the first time.

"One person has now finished a course to help him return to work in catering.

"Everyone must be given the opportunity to try them out."
