Find treatment for mental health issues

Health centers and behavioral health treatment facilities can provide services that can help.

• Locate a health center near you to make an appointment for mental health services.

These services can help if you do not have insurance or are struggling to pay for treatment after insurance has covered qualifying services.
• Learn how to participate in a mental health treatment clinical trial with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
• Find mental health services for veterans and their family members. These services can help with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other issues.
