It was a fairly quiet meeting this week just 6 attendees. We talked about a few issues in the news regarding DA's survey findings.. That 1 in 2 people suffered from some form of Depression in their lifetime, how loneliness can lead to depression and how engaging with people can help. Plus in Gloucestershire money spent on prescribing anti-dressants had increased considerably in 2012. Seems that GP's will prescribe anti-depressants rather than advising people on talking therapies. We asked are GP's able to differentiate sadness from depression? Do talking therapies help? Are we just fed up with bringing up our past over and over? Some things to think about.
Well after a week off poorly I was glad to get back to the group! Finding out how everyone has been and how we are getting on!..
