This guidance booklet from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence addresses the care and treatment of adults with common mental health problems, including depression, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and social anxiety disorder, in the NHS in England and Wales. It is written for people experiencing common mental health problems but it may also be useful for their families or carers, or for anyone with an interest in common mental health problems. The booklet is designed to help in the understanding of the care and treatment options that should be available in the NHS. It does not describe common mental health problems, tests or treatments in detail. The booklet should be discussed with a member of the healthcare team. Sections include: common mental health problems; how can I get help for common mental health problems?; what should I expect to happen at an assessment?; what treatments might I be offered?; information for families and carers; explanation of technical words and terms; more information; about NICE.
