Mental Health Support
If you are experiencing a worsening of your mental health there are services available to support you. Although some of these are called “crisis” helplines, it is important to understand that you do not have to be actively suicidal or in imminent danger to use them. It is generally much better to access support early than to wait for problems to worsen.
We encourage you to make an appointment at the practice to discuss your mental health if you feel it is becoming worse. If you already have an appointment for this purpose and feel things are getting worse more quickly than before, please contact the practice to check whether a more urgent appointment can be made.
If at any time you are in crisis and feel you cannot keep yourself safe, please call 999 or attend A&E. This is the best way to maintain your safety in an emergency, and you can be seen there by mental health professionals.
