The first thing you should do is register with a local GP. GP surgeries are usually the first contact if you have a health problem. They can treat many conditions and give health advice. They can also refer you to other NHS services, including mental health.

Health and wellbeing support services are available to you locally. If you have serious concerns about your mental health you should contact your GP.
