DH has finally, months after being diagnosed with depression, completed the IAPTF self-referral form for a psychological wellbeing service on the NHS (sorry, not sure if this is the same in all regions!).
I think it's now three weeks to wait until he'll hear anything and I wanted to hear from anyone who's used a similar service - did it help and what treatment did they provide?
I'm also just wondering how I can help him? He found doing the self-assessment so tough. I'm hoping that completing the form, and perhaps the first few sessions of whatever treatment, will be the hardest (speaking from my own experience of a little counselling).
