SPF: Everything you need to know and all your questions answered

So far, this summer has been one to go down in history as far as the weather is concerned.

Most of Europe have been battling an unprecedented heatwave for weeks, and while we are loving the warm weather and sunny skies, there is no denying that the sun’s harmful UV rays are also playing havoc with our health.

What Anxiety UK & videoDoc are doing to support mental health

To look into the history of mental health is to see years of stigma, inadequate, often brutal treatments and incompetent socio-political responsibilities towards those suffering. In fact, it’s only in the second half of the 20th century that treatments and attitudes towards mental health have experienced significant and productive change for the better in the UK.

Now you can video-chat your doctor for a prescription

Getting to the doctor is a difficult task when you work full-time. For me, taking leave for the sake of a 15-minute appointment seems wasteful, especially if all you need is a repeat prescription. Throw in children; housework and a dog that needs walking and there’s never any time left for myself.

10 Reasons to use online therapy

There are a number of reasons why the figure is staggeringly low. Psychiatrist, Dr John Hillery, Chairman of videoDoc’s Medical Advisory Committee, says “for individuals facing such issues, seeking help can be a real challenge, mainly due to the difficulty people with symptoms have gaining access to appointments due to personal mobility or time constraints. Social stigma may also cause people to feel anxious about engaging with therapy in a traditional face-to-face session.”
