I'm also in the UK. I've been to the GP many times. Sometimes I'm prescribed medication or I have to self refer myself to therapy 4 u. It was helpful. The mental health services in the UK I must say in my opinion are not good. Some GP are concerned, some just want to rush you and give you medication. I give up going to the GP. Plus, I'm tired of people forcing me to go to the GP because how I behave and apparently it's all my fault. Forgive me if this has nothing to do with your thread but I hope you get the best treatment possible
