Easy to access but poor mental health support
If I have a medical need I can get an appointment at the surgery. My concern is the lack of mental health support and treatment. I have medication review every 3 to 6 months, but I have been really struggling with my mental health over the past few months and the doctors have told me that there is nothing that they can do for me. I have been told I can self refer to other services. I find it very difficult to make phone calls because of my struggles, and living in a rural area means that phone signals are very unreliable. It would make a huge difference if doctors made referrals like they did before.
