Auberon has had problems with anxiety and depression, and sometimes self-harmed. The doctor he preferred to see was very supportive, tried to go the extra mile', and booked him in for double appointments.

Nikki has had some very difficult times with mental health issues, including self-harm, and often felt that GPs didn't listen or take her concerns seriously. Things started improving when she started college, made new friends and moved house. Campaigning for better mental health services has also helped.

Shane was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. He was prescribed a high dose of antidepressant medication and overdosed (self-harmed) one night. He is no longer on medication and has weekly informal counselling with a GP he likes. He also takes part in events organised by a local charity.
