Mental health in primary care
Talk and activate first; prescribe later.
The seminar focuses on non-drug therapies for common mental health conditions in primary care: depression, anxiety and distress. The aim is to encourage practitioners to talk first, get patients being physically and socially active, and see how they do. Prescribing can come later, if and when needed.
