Support for depression and anxiety

Hey! I am a CBT therapist in the NHS but work only with children. So my knowledge is limited in adult services. In certain areas the talking therapy services have prenatal therapy team. Make it more clear for them stating that your mental health difficulties are related to being postpartum and you feel self- help won't be enough for you.

Nhs will tell you to self refer to vita minds, is that where you have referred to anyway? I have found a therapy service that is donation based so you give what you can, if anything. Other than that its private. Do you have a family centre nearby that could offer some support? I am sorry you're struggling, I am too and its tough to get any support, I've been trying for years on and off and again recently but have now given up and dealing with it alone. I hope you have some personal support close by x

I wouldn’t bother with the NHS. I’ve been waiting 7 months even though you’re a “priority” after having a baby. It’s absolutely shocking the way the NHS treat you.

You’re better off paying privately, I have done & had an appointment within 1 week.
