A message to Mr Sunak.

@JulieAWalker1 This sums it up !

My sister has Huntington’s it like Parkinson but more severe. She was diagnosed 16 years ago and it’s steadily getting worse. She doesn’t know what day it is and he wants her to work. He has no idea of anything. Don’t get me started on anxiety & depression.

This is terrible. What an incredible worry. Please, give her a hug from me. 🤗

So I was in active crisis, got an "urgent" referral to my local mental health team... My appointment is in September. When I last relapsed (2018) I was seen within days... None of the services I accessed in 2018 are open or running now. The Tories have cut so much. It can't go on

A 5 months wait. That's unsustainable, I'm truly sorry.

Bravo! Unless you have suffered with anxiety and depression you have no idea how it impacts the everyday. Just getting through a day is a struggle.

Hi, this is excellent and thank you for sharing. Please can you signpost the GP so I can follow? Thanks

Martin has replied directly, I'd just like to add you can see all of his videos on Insta (the address is in the video, too) at doc_martin_GP

How right you are that mental health support has been stripped to the bare bones. I am in Switzerland now where the mental health services are enabling ill people to recover with clinics and professionally designed and run programmes
