As demand for mental health treatment continues to soar, new figures show that GPs are doing the heaviest lifting to ease the burden of mental illness.
It is estimated the number of mental health presentations to GPs have increased by about 4.7% annually since 2009 reaching 15.8 million visits in the 2012/13 financial year.
