Asking for help can be difficult, but you don't have to know exactly what to say or where to begin. Talking with someone you trust—a friend, family member, health-care professional, or spiritual leader—can be a first step toward getting support. SAMHSA offers practical suggestions for starting that conversation. Click here to learn How to Ask for Help.

Mental health screening isn't only about depression. Mental Health America's screening tools cover a range of concerns, including anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, eating disorders, and more. If something doesn't feel quite right, a screening may help you better understand what you're experiencing. Explore mental health screeing tools here.

Finding the right support can take time, but you don't have to navigate it alone.

SAMHSA's FindTreatment.gov allows you to search for mental health and substance-use treatment services in your area. You can search by location and other criteria to find available resources. Find Mental Health Treatment by clicking here.
