The Government do not allocate funds for specific diagnoses. However, the health settlement in the Spending Review included both funding to expand access to talking therapies for treating depression and anxiety disorders including post-traumatic stress disorder and develop the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme, as well as an additional £10 million over the next four years to provide better support for those who have served their country in the current conflicts.
