On “Psychology Behind the Headlines” hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest life coach with a master’s of counseling Alisa Harp, discuss the UK government’s controversial plan to reduce benefits for those with mild depression or anxiety.
A Question of Support
The UK government argues that these cuts will prevent misuse and reduce costs.
The Impact of Reduced Benefits
Alisa raises concerns about how individuals with depression and anxiety will cope with reduced financial support, especially those experiencing severe symptoms.
Beyond Financial Aid
While acknowledging the need for change in the system, Alisa advocates for a holistic approach that offers treatment options alongside necessary financial assistance.
