When it is worth raising
There is no threshold you have to reach. If it is affecting your sleep, your work or the people around you, that is reason enough. You do not need to have a diagnosis, or to have tried everything else first.
What an appointment looks like
A longer appointment than usual, because ten minutes is not enough. Mostly listening, then talking through options — which may be talking therapy, medication, both, or neither.
Speak to someone if
- You have thoughts of harming yourself — contact emergency services now
- You cannot keep yourself safe
- You have stopped eating or drinking normally
