Are you okay?
My inbox is always open
Firstly I would not call them cures.
One of the important factors is if the person has thoughts or plans to harm themselves. There should be no shame in this either. It just prioritises the first point of contact.
But there are many support and treatment options available for mental health. Recovery is achievable
Mental health can be an array of conditions. Ranging from Depression, anxiety, psychosis, and bipolar to schizophrenia.
We are not skilled or trained in diagnosing. Treatment options vary per condition and your GP is the best first point of contact. They can do a mental health assessment and refer someone to a psychologist etc
The SA Health Mental Health Triage Service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This service:

Depends on what the mental health problem is. I recall many years ago a friend who thought there was something wrong with her mentally, was eventually diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder (Not a mental health issue but a personality type). There’s a variety of services out there to help diagnose and support you in times of need.
