Cardiac & respiratory mental health team

Being diagnosed with a heart condition

It's common to feel a variety of emotions after being diagnosed with a heart condition, especially if you have a sudden heart attack or need emergency heart surgery. People say they feel angry, shocked, confused, anxious, and often sad.

Living with a long-term lung condition

Living with a long-term condition such as COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or bronchiectasis can result in increased fear, anxiety, worry and panic.  These symptoms can also affect how you feel and can result in low mood, frustration, increased irritability and negative thinking.

We can help

Our service offers assessment and treatment for individuals who are experiencing mental health needs (eg anxiety, depression, panic) alongside and related to a cardiac or respiratory condition.  We offer treatment programmes to help improve an individual’s ability to manage periods of low mood and/or anxiety which can also help you manage your physical condition.

Please speak to your GP or NHS health worker if you would like to be referred to this service.
