Common mental health problems: identification and pathways to care

We withdrew this guideline in May 2024, because all of the recommendations are now covered in other NICE guidelines, or are out of date and no longer relevant to clinical practice.

For guidance on common mental health problems, see our guidelines on:

• Depression in adults
• Depression in adults with a chronic physical health problem
• Depression in children and young people
• Generalised anxiety disorder and panic disorder in adults
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder and body dysmorphic disorder
• Social anxiety disorder
