Hi everyone,

Unfortunately one of my teenagers is struggling with their mental health at the moment. I've known for years that our current GP practice is pretty rubbish, but lucky for us we haven't been ill very much, so it hasn't mattered! Looking to move now, and hopefully to somewhere where there is a least one permanent doctor with an interest in adolescent mental health.

Anyone got any recommendations?

A doctor who will listen to my child, and not just say, "we don't deal with that."

thanks in advance!

The Gardens surgery has a social prescriber who can help to point patients with mental health issues to appropriate sources of help.

I don't know if any of the GPs specialise in this area specifically, but I've always found them sympathetic.

If you go onto their website and click on "meet the team" you can click on each GP and see what their particular interests are.

Their website says they are currently accepting new patients, but I presume you would have to be in their catchment area.

If you are, you could maybe discuss your question with an appropriate person there before you register?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
