Mental Health Support 

Mental health is just as important as physical health. 

At EveryMed General Practice, we provide compassionate and confidential mental health support for adults, adolescents, and young adults. 

Our GPs assess, diagnose, and manage conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, and other emotional health challenges, offering personalised treatment plans and ongoing care.

Understanding Mental Health

Mental health conditions affect thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. Common issues include:

  • Anxiety disorders – excessive worry, panic attacks, or phobias
  • Depression – persistent low mood, lack of interest, or fatigue
  • Stress-related disorders – burnout, adjustment difficulties
  • Sleep problems – insomnia or disrupted sleep
  • Mood fluctuations – irritability, emotional instability

Early recognition and support can prevent conditions from worsening and improve overall wellbeing.

Common Symptoms

You may benefit from a GP consultation if you experience:

  • Persistent sadness or low mood
  • Excessive worry, fear, or panic attacks
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Difficulty sleeping or oversleeping
  • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Social withdrawal or isolation
  • Irritability, anger, or mood swings

Mental health issues are common, and seeking help early is essential.

Causes & Risk Factors

Mental health challenges may arise from a combination of:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Stressful life events (loss, trauma, relationship issues)
  • Chronic physical illness
  • Hormonal changes
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Substance use or medication side effects
  • Workplace or academic pressures

Understanding these factors helps tailor treatment and support.

Diagnosis & Assessment at EveryMed

Our GPs offer thorough mental health assessments, including:

  • Review of personal and family mental health history
  • Symptom evaluation and risk assessment
  • Screening for anxiety, depression, and stress disorders
  • Review of lifestyle factors, sleep, and diet
  • Referral for additional psychological or psychiatric support if needed

Confidentiality and empathy are central to our approach.

Mental Health Support & Management

1. Medication Management

Depending on your condition, treatment may include:

  • Antidepressants
  • Anti-anxiety medications
  • Sleep aids (short-term, when needed)
  • Medication monitoring for side effects and effectiveness

Our GPs focus on safe, personalised medication plans.

2. Therapy & Counselling

We support patients with access to:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Counselling for stress, grief, or life changes
  • Referral to psychologists or psychiatrists
  • Group therapy or support programmes

Talking therapies are highly effective when combined with medical care.

3. Lifestyle & Self-Care Strategies

We provide guidance on:

  • Stress management and relaxation techniques
  • Sleep hygiene
  • Exercise and physical activity
  • Balanced diet for mental wellbeing
  • Mindfulness and meditation practices
  • Building healthy routines and social support

Small, consistent changes can significantly improve mood and resilience.

4. Ongoing Monitoring

Regular follow-ups allow GPs to:

  • Track symptom changes
  • Adjust medications if needed
  • Address side effects
  • Support goal-setting and coping strategies
  • Prevent relapse or deterioration

Continuous care ensures long-term mental wellbeing.

Possible Complications if Left Untreated

Untreated mental health conditions may lead to:

  • Chronic anxiety or depression
  • Social withdrawal or isolation
  • Substance misuse
  • Poor physical health outcomes
  • Relationship or work difficulties

Early intervention is key to preventing these complications.
