Depression is more than a passing low mood. Mild depression can mean you’re unable to enjoy your normal activities, while severe depression can make you feel suicidal or as if life isn’t worth living. Getting outdoors and doing exercise are some of the well-known tips for helping mood, but are there others? If you’re struggling with feelings of depression, please ask for an appointment.

IMPORTANT PATIENT NOTICE:

  • Emergency Only Service Friday 5th December to Wednesday 10th December
  • Limited Appointments Thursday 11th December to Friday 12th December

If you have a prescription due between these dates you MUST order no later than 3rd December 2025. The practice will have no facility to process prescriptions until after the installation of our new system. If you are an online user you will receive an email notification from [email protected] on how to register for the new online system once fully operational – (this is not spam). You can continue to use online services until 28th November 2025. We have currently ceased new applications for online services.

Your patience and understanding is appreciated during this process.
