Care for people with depression and bipolar disorder

That this House notes that depression and bipolar disorder are major causes of disability, with substantial implications for patients' quality of life; further notes the impact of depression and bipolar on employment opportunities, the UK economy and the NHS; recognises that although innovative treatments exist, such as medication and neuromodulation to psychological therapies, too many people still face barriers in accessing timely, evidence-based care; believes that improving access to care is essential for improving patient outcomes and reducing avoidable hospital admissions; and calls on the Government to address systemic obstacles to help improve the quality of life of people living with bipolar and depression.
