Lisa’s story:Ten years ago I had just joined as a new partner at Lonsdale. Agroup of child psychiatrists came to the practice to train us toidentify mild depression in young people and manage those weidentified. They said we could fit this all in to a 10 minuteconsultation.My first reactions were very negative. How could I possibly fit thisin? How could anything so brief work? Oh no, not more work!Surely depression = +++ counselling. And why would I want to bedoing that anyway, I’d rather leave it to the experts.

However, following the training (very grudgingly) I found that:• The research showed that it was useful• It was simple once you got the hang of it• It empowered me to ask questions of young people who mayfind it difficult to articulate their feelings. I am no longer soscared of uncovering depression in young people.
