Falling in a gap in mental health services in the UK: a perspective paper (original) (raw)

International Journal of Spa and Wellness, 2022

Abstract

ABSTRACT As the importance of mental health has started to be recognised in the last decade in the United Kingdom, mental health support in the country has been strengthened involving diverse services and teams such as primary care, local community mental health teams and crisis teams. While the current structure appears to support all levels of mental health issues, this perspective paper highlights the access to talking therapies in the local community mental health teams. Delayed treatment or non-treatment for mental health problems can cause serious consequences including suicides. Information sharing, training, and flexible pathways are suggested as the first step to fill in the gap in the mental health services in the country.
