Mental health support

What it really means
If you are struggling with stress, anxiety or low mood, your GP is a normal first step — mental health is treated like any other health issue. NHS talking therapies can often be self-referred. In a mental health crisis, call NHS 111; if life is at risk, call 999.
Chinese explanation
心理健康支持：如果被压力、焦虑或情绪低落困扰，找GP是很正常的第一步——心理健康与身体健康同样对待。NHS谈话治疗通常可自行申请。心理危机时打NHS 111；有生命危险时打999。
