Mental Health
Many people experience challenging emotional issues at different times in their lives. If you feel you need help and it's not an emergency, it's best to see your doctor to help assess your needs.
​
This could include:
-
making a mental health assessment
-
creating a mental health treatment plan
-
referring to a psychologist, psychiatrist or other mental health professional
-
discussing prescription medications and other treatment options.
​
Your doctor might ask you some personal questions to understand your situation. Sometimes it can be hard to talk to others about your mental health. Here are some doctor about mental health on the healthdirect website.
