Living through the coronavirus pandemic is mentally tough in the best of circumstances and it may be particularly challenging for patients with mental health issues.
If you feel you need to talk to a GP about your mental health then please phone us – we are here and happy to help.
Please make sure you contact us if you are having persisting thoughts of wanting to harm yourself in any way.
If you feel you cannot keep yourself safe and need emergency assistance dial 999.
