Although talking about your mental health can be challenging, it is an important step that can help you feel better. In order for your doctor to provide the best care possible, it would be advisable to tell the truth about what you’re feeling.

Don’t worry, if you’re finding it hard to open up, you can always bring a family or close friend and they could explain your situation instead. 

It’s your battle, but you don’t need to fight it alone
