WHERE TO GET HELP

Talk to Your Doctor

The first step to accessing help begins by visiting your family doctor. Talking to a doctor as soon as possible about any mental health concern can help clarify options for assistance and determine, or rule out, any physical causes for mental health issues.

If you don't have a regular family doctor, there are other options available for accessing mental health professionals: below is a list of programs, phone numbers, drop-in centres, and books to help.

Remember, mental disorders are treatable, so asking for help is critical to regain optimal mental health. Health-care professionals can work with you to determine the problem and prescribe the best treatment options for you.
