New mental health information booklet available - Living with Long Term Physical Health Conditions – your emotional wellbeing

This new resource aims to support people with any long term physical health condition such as diabetes or coronary heart disease with information about how to look after their emotional wellbeing. This information for the general public explains how people who have a long term condition are more vulnerable to psychological distress and common mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. It also includes how to recognise the symptoms of depression and anxiety, provides information on how people can look after their own mental health and help themselves as well as where to get more help locally.
