Mental health services<\/h1>\n

One in four people in the UK experience a mental health problem at some point that affects their daily life, relationships or physical health.<\/p>\n

Mental health problems can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, gender or social background. If you think that you may have a mental health problem \u2013 or suspect that someone close to you has one \u2013 please seek help. Without care and treatment, mental health problems can have a serious effect on an individual and those around them.<\/p>\n

The information below is a starting point, but we urge you to see your GP.<\/p>\n

Who should I contact?<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re feeling stressed, anxious, tense or depressed and find that these feelings are impacting your relationships, work, or life generally, talk to your GP. There are therapies and other treatments which can help.<\/p>\n

If you do not have a doctor, NHS 111<\/a> can put you in touch with one and provide further information or advice.<\/p>\n

The NHS website also has a list of mental health helplines that can offer expert advice<\/a> and lots of online support and advice on mental health issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mental health - nhs.uk<\/a>\n\n
