DEPRESSION AND ITS TREATMENT

That this House welcomes the launch of the Depression Alliance's report Daring to Choose: ten ways to deliver choice for people with depression and anxiety; supports the work of the Depression Alliance and Depression Awareness Week, 20 to 26 April 2009; notes with concern that one in six people in the UK will suffer from depression in their lives; believes that choice is vital to empower people and combat stigma and discrimination; welcomes the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme but recognises that it needs to be integrated with a wide range of other services for it to be effective; and calls on the Government to make depression and anxiety an urgent public health priority, make available a full range of treatment options, psychological, pharmacological, social and others, and implement the recommendations set out in the Depression Alliance's report.
