I need help now

It’s important to get help quickly. You are not alone.
Getting help
If you are worried about your mental health, or are concerned about someone close to you, it’s important to get help and support as soon as possible.
The first step is to contact your GP, who can help with diagnosis, prescribe medication if suitable and/or refer you to the right local mental health service.
