There is also free support and information available about mental health. If a crisis arises suddenly and immediate help is needed, calling a crisis helpline is recommended. To get an idea of how severe the symptoms are, it can be helpful to complete a screening questionnaire. Self-help guidelines may sometimes be a useful complement to therapy. With these links, it is also possible to consider whether brief therapy might be sufficient or whether psychotherapy is needed, and whether public health services are an option or another form of care would be more suitable. Below are some links to useful websites:
