If you regularly feel ‘low’, depressed, anxious or have other worrying emotions, seeking help is one of the first steps to staying well. Even if you are not sure if you are experiencing a specific mental health issue.
There are lots of options for support, and you may find some more suitable and effective than others, so it’s always good to be aware of who you can reach out to for help.
Your doctor or Specialist Metabolic team
They could make a diagnosis, offer treatments, refer to you to a specialist or recommend support groups.
