Lothian Alliance Against Depression: Anti-stigma Campaign

Lodged by Colin Fox Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that, partially because of the stigma surrounding mental illness, as many as 75% of people suffering from depression do not seek help from their GP; therefore welcomes the launch of the “Mother, father, son, daughter” anti-stigma campaign by Lothian Alliance Against Depression, and congratulates Depression Alliance Scotland, the University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian for the initiative.
