Help with mental health
Overview
Everyone has mental and emotional health. Events and experiences in your life can have a positive and negative affect on them.
If you're having a mental or emotional health problem contact your doctor. If you feel you need additional support, you can:
- ask your doctor for a longer appointment
- take a family member or friend with you
