Depression

We think that working with people early can help stop mental illness getting worse.

We have worked with some GPs to support people who have just been told they have depression or anxiety.

We ran a project to put a support worker at the GP practice to help people with their illness and their medication.

This has helped people understand depression better.

It has helped people to ask questions about their medicine and any side effects.

This has helped people take their medicine and find other things in the community to help them.

We think this may help people to get better.

This has helped GPs too.We would like to do more work like this.
