@MelLeighD It is certainly a numbers game, and the sessions limit is mostly about rationing.

But to be honest I was not aware of rationing based on diagnosis.  I think GPs can prep a plan for any MH conditions - so people can acess the sessions


I think if you check out the fine print, yes, there are issues around who qualifies for a mental health care plan based on diagnosis. GPs etc tend to work around it by identifying depression/anxiety as the issue...even if the person actually has a formal diagnosis of borderline personality disorder.
