Page updated without specialty input
Mental health services are complex, with each of Lothian’s four Health and Social Care Partnerships (HSCPs) developing its own approaches.
This mental health page outlines the referral management of the major mental health conditions, where there is generally a Lothian-wide approach and gives details of psychiatry and emergency services.
It also has a LOCALITY SECTION summarising the mental health services in each HSCP (Edinburgh, East, Mid- and West Lothian).
There is a separate Mental Health page for Psychology and Psychosocial Interventions – including
- cCBT and CBT
- The Psychotherapy and Psychological Therapies services
- Counselling and other psychological approaches (Guided Self Help, Positive Mental Health)
- Physical activity to improve mental health
- Services for specific groups e.g. hearing impaired.
