Finding your way…
Mental health issues can be difficult as it is not easy for others to see how you feel.
Your GP can help discuss ways to try and help and sometimes a referral to a psychiatrist is necessary but often you may find self help is possible.
Please use our resources below to find ways to help yourself, it is possible to self refer to many mental health services without having to be referred by your GP.
