Five million people consult their GPs each year about a mental problem
'...The teacher tells me my child is hyperactive at school...'
'...Our teenage boy is schizophrenic and has been voluntarily admitted to a local hospital. He keeps running home and wrecks the place - we can't cope...'
'My wife is terribly depressed since the birth of our baby and wont see the doctor....'
'My husband is under a great deal of pressure at work. I think there is something very wrong but I don't seem to be able to talk to him about it... since I had a nervous breakdown my friends and neighbours seem to avoid me....
For advice on how to cope, when to seek help and where, ring Fiona Hulland, Advice and Information Worker at MIND, and Dr Robert Lefever, GP
