Hello, 

I hope you are all well.

Could I ask if anyone knows of any support groups online for those who are suffering from anxiety and depression?

Thank you

    You can ask your doctor to refer you to mental health team to help you.

    Hi @life, thank you for responding. They have already referred me to therapy, so just waiting for that. I was wondering if there were any other support group type things. Like wellbeing groups online.

    Hello @sunshine23

    I would look at Mind. They have a peer support group called Side by Side and they also are able to help source local groups if you wanted to speak in person. I hope it helps :)

    Hello @sunshine23. I am well thank you. How are you at the moment?

    There are quite a few online support groups for people suffering from anxiety and depression.

    I will separate these into (1) anxiety and (2) depression to, hopefully, make it more accessible. Here they are:

    Anxiety


    Depression


    I hope these resources are helpful. Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can do to help though  :)

    Hi @L_Volunteer. Thank you so much for those and to separate them out! I really appreciate it. I have not heard of most of these so look forward to going through them :)
