Hello, I'm not sure if this thread is still open or not? But my question is:

What can GPs do for mental health other than do Mental Health Care Plans/Referrals and/or prescribe medication if you need it (although a Psychiatrist can do that, and I have one), and do physical check ups? Can they do anything else or is that it? Do I HAVE to see a GP for mental health reasons?
