Getting support from your doctor

Talking to a doctor about your own mental health can be difficult, so the Mental Health Foundation has produced a practical guide with details on what to expect from your appointment and what your GP can do for you.

Go to http://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/gp-visit-guide/ to download the leaflet for tips and advice on speaking to your GP about your mental health with greater confidence.
