Are you worried about your mental health?

If you're having mental health problems, you're not alone. One in four of us will have problems with our mental health at some time in our lives

Weighed down by problems? Want help feeling better? The first stop should be your GP, where you can find out which therapies and treatments are available.

Not only will your GP be familiar with your medical history, but they will be able to direct you to appropriate services. Don't feel worried about going: your GP is there to help with your mental as well as your physical health.

Your GP will identify, assess and provide the necessary support, will actively monitor your situation and will refer for further assessment and interventions as felt necessary.
