I'm a GP and see people every day who are struggling with anxiety and depression. The focus is very much on getting rid of symptoms which, as part of this group, we understand are helpful.
In short 10 minute consultations, time is very limited. Any thoughts on how such an opposing perspective could be communicated in such a time limited situation?
I recommend books / resources to my patients and always try to leave them feeling hopeful and highlight that they're not broken even when it really looks to them that they are.
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
