Description

The Autumn spending review is set to outline a budget for mental health services, which are being overwhelmed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychiatrists are warning that the mental health impact of coronavirus needs to be taken just as seriously as physical health, as they prepare for their busiest 18 months on record. On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast, host Noel Phillips speaks to Samantha Lovell whose brother took his own life after lockdown became too tough. We also hear from Jess Gallier, who founded a suicide prevention charity in memory of her father, which has saved thousands of lives and counting. Plus Dr Adrian James, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, explains the impact COVID-19 is having on the mental health of Britons and tells us why government needs to offer services more help.
