The Why, the What and the How...
In 2021, 13.2% of adults living in Suffolk had a diagnosis of depression. 26.6% reported living with high levels of anxiety. In the same year, the number of hospital admissions for the 20-24 year old age group relating to self harm, was the highest in the UK. 78% of GP's reported prescribing anti depressants even though they though an alternative treatment would be more successful.
