Engleton House Surgery
Please see a GP if you feel your problems are severe/not going away with other support you have tried. Not all mental health problems need medication but if you are feeling very low or anxious please make an appointment to discuss your mental health with a GP so we can help you decide if this is needed and ensure you have the right support. Sometimes we will refer to the local community mental health and psychiatry team for more specialist help e.g. in severe depression or eating disorders etc.
