Areas of care
Many people wait a long time before talking to a doctor about how they feel, or about a change they have noticed in someone close to them. If any of the concerns below sound familiar, a consultation is a good place to start. They are described here in everyday words.

Anxiety, panic attacks, OCD and stress
Worry that will not settle, sudden spells of fear with a racing heart, thoughts or habits that keep repeating against your wishes, or stress that is making ordinary days feel hard.
-
Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders
Hearing voices that others do not hear, holding strong beliefs that others find hard to follow, or a sudden change in the way someone thinks, speaks or behaves.
-
Sleep difficulties and insomnia
Lying awake for a long time, waking often in the night, or waking very early and still feeling tired.
-
Substance use and de-addiction care
Finding it hard to cut down or stop alcohol, tobacco or other drugs, and the strain this can bring to health and family life.

Child and adolescent mental health
Worry, sadness, anger, or changes in behaviour or studies in children and teenagers, including the pressure that often comes with examinations.
