Your GP is there for you when you’re physically unwell, but they’re also there when you’re feeling mentally unwell. You can make an appointment to go and speak to them and find some real medical help – which could include a counselling referral, or medication if that’s what’s appropriate.

Seeing a doctor can seem pretty daunting, but their job is to help people feel better. Take along a friend or family member if you need some moral support.
