There is a world in which not every person going to their doctor with a health condition – be that physical or mental – is inevitably just dosed up with medicines.

And that matters, because the root of their problem may be about other, non-medical, things: poor, overcrowded, and overheated housing; a lack of income, even if they are actually entitled to more benefits; worries about unaffordable debt rising; stress at work or anxiety at home; and – perhaps most important of all – loneliness.
