Abstract

Depression is the most common mental health condition affecting over 300 million people worldwide. This number is increasing in the UK, and over a decade the number of anti-depressants prescribed has almost doubled. People who work in community pharmacies (chemists) could help people with depression as pharmacies are widely distributed, especially in deprived areas where depression is more common, and are easy to access without an appointment.
