Cash for 'recession depression'

The [strike]government[/strike]tax payer is to devote funds to assist people who develop mental health problems because of the recession.

An extra £13m has been allocated for therapy services in England to help identify those who might be suffering from depression due to the downturn.

Mental health charities have welcomed the move, but some have questioned whether the money will be enough.
