Your mental health can affect how you think, feel and act. Like your physical health, you need to look after it.
If you are having problems with your mental health, you should speak to your doctor, who will refer you to the best services for your mental health needs. Your GP might refer you to the NHS Single Point of Access Team (NHS). The Team may offer you an assessment and support or a referral to other mental health services.
