If you do need to seek further support for your mental health difficulties, there are a range of services available locally.
Your GP practice may offer psychological support and therapies to help manage conditions such as anxiety or depression through counselling, support services and, where necessary, medication.
For information for carers supporting people with mental health difficulties, visit 'Caring for someone' section.
If you need more support than your GP can provide it is likely you will be referred to an organisation such as Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust - the major provider of specialist NHS services locally, including both community and hospital-based services.
