Scots woman whose tragic sister battled depression calling on more support
06.12.2023 - 05:17 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Glasgow woman whose sister battled depression before her death said sufferers need to be given more information about support available.
Fiona Hogg passed away from pneumonia last December. Prior to her passing she struggled to leave house to attend appointments because of her depression. Fiona's devastated sister Emma Rae, said if Fiona had known about other support available to her, then maybe her situation would have been very different.
Emma, 28, wishes there was more support for people in Fiona’s situation and more information about mental health services available through the NHS, reports Glasgow Live.
The family says something needs to change and want to know what else can be done so people struggling with their mental health don’t feel alone. They are now calling on the NHS and SAMH (Scottish Association of Mental Health) is to take further action to help people in this situation.
Emma said: “Fiona was a great person but she had her struggles and she really did seek support for her mental health.
“It makes us angry but a bit disappointed more than anything that mental health help isn’t as accessible as it should be.
“People who are struggling with depression and anxiety are more reluctant to go out to appointments and access the medical help they need. Fiona did seek help and was given NHS appointments but she had trouble attending.
“If a nurse was supposed to call her, she wouldn’t answer the phone call or go to appointments because she didn’t want to go outside or leave her home.
