More worryingly, 1 in 6 people in England report experiencing a common mental health problem like anxiety and depression in any given week. Tackling the issue head on, host superintendent pharmacist Reshma Malde speaks to James Earl, Relationship Counsellor at All Points North, about the impact depression and anxiety can have on us as an individual and how it can impact our relationships. James also shares his insights into the pioneering non-invasive treatments that are available to support people dealing with these types of issues.

In the ‘Meet the Pharmacy’ section, Reshma answers customers’ questions about medicating children.
