Mental Health
Our Services at Glengarriff Medical Centre
Anyone from child to adult may experience mental health issues and we are here to help. You may just need to share your worries or ask for advice on something which you might consider big or small. Sharing your problem by just talking to the doctor or nurse often helps. Sometimes we may need to direct you or your child to psychological services, such as counselling, or to a specialist mental health service. Sometimes we may advice using medication or more likely a combination of medication and psychological services.
