New @NICEComms depression guideline warns about suicidal feelings or agitation at start of antidepressant treatment.
Patients & their families should be alerted to this.
Bereaved families have had a vital influence on this guideline. #SuicidePrevention

For #carersweek2020 we wanted to properly introduce our STEP carers worker David Bobbett. He joined the team in August 2019 after working within the carers service for 13 years! We are so lucky to have him in our team, and thankful for the difference he is making🌟

John Read: "It's dangerous to pathologise understandable human responses. These are social problems not mental health problems, but what we fear is we are going to see an increase in prescribed medication - such as in the US where there's been a 30 per cent increase”
