Mental health support

[GrahamVA]

I really need help with my mental health.

I suffered a heart attack in September 23. I have struggled with confidence and anxiety ever since.

i expect you were given cardio rehab after your heart attack, and they would have given you leaflets or access to further resources to manage your anxiety as this is a common outcome after an episode of heart trouble - can you revisit these?

Another excellent resource is to go to the NHS website and put in “heart attack “ or similar and following the links through to depression and so on. Breathing techniques should be helpful.

Your doctors practice probably employs a social prescriber. There should be information on your practice leaflet online. They isn’t be able to indicate pathways you could follow.
