There are a number of different treatments that may be offered to people with mental health difficulties. Over recent years, the range of help has increased significantly and has provided more choice. This is important as everyone is unique and what works for one person may not be right for someone else. Some treatments may be used in conjunction with others.

Finding the right treatment can be difficult, particularly as what is available may vary. It is important to find out good information about the different options for treatment in order to make an informed choice. Click on the links below for a description of the different types of treatment:
