Mental health crisis response services are a vital part of any mental health service system. A well-designed crisis response system can provide backup to community providers, perform outreach by connecting first-time users to appropriate services and improve community relations by providing reassurance that the person’s needs are met in a mental health crisis.

Treatment for mental health conditions is not a one size fits all approach. Treatment can include private doctors, community mental health centers, emergency rooms, hospitalization and substance abuse centers. Knowing where to look and what to expect can help reduce confusion and stress.

Some people find medications to be an important part of their treatment plan. Understanding their risks and benefits can help you make the right choice.

Psychosocial treatments look at someone’s psychological development and how it contributes to the way that they act in and respond to their social environment.

Complementary and alternative methods can help with recovery when traditional methods do not seem to be enough.

When treatments such as medication and therapy aren’t able to relieve the symptoms of depression or another mental health condition, brain stimulation therapies can be an option.
