UK Government to put out advice/measures on Mental Health during Self-Isolation
The UK Government should provide advice or put in measures to support those who are quarantined who suffer from Mental Health Conditions.
I, and many others, are suffering at this time whilst in isolation and some people are not lucky enough to be living with people to assist them through this difficult time and the new restrictions of not being able to leave the house means that people cannot meet others for face:face conversation. It also means some mental health support meetings cannot take place as places may not have the facilities to do video calls.
