Make all anti-depressants free on the NHS

Closed 59 signatures

What the petition asks

Anti-depressant tablets are needed by a large proportion of the U.K population - why should people have to pay for these when they desperately need them. Mental illnesses should be treated the same way as physical: in the way that for example Thyroid tablets are free, anti-depressants should be.
