Mental health

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Low mood, anxiety, sleep problems, grief and stress are common – and there is a lot of good help, with us, in the municipality and at the hospital.

Thoughts of taking your own life are always urgent: call 113 or the out-of-hours clinic on 116 117 straight away.

1. 1

   With your GP

   Start with us. We listen, assess and treat – with conversations, advice and medicines if needed – and refer you on when needed. Book a normal appointment and write briefly what it is about.

2. 2

   In the municipality

   Rælingen has free low-threshold mental health help for adults with mild to moderate problems such as low mood, anxiety, grief, stress and sleep problems. You can contact them yourself or through us. Young people can go to the youth health clinic.

   At the hospital

   For serious or long-lasting problems we refer to DPS Nedre Romerike at Ahus (adults) or BUP (children and young people). In an acute crisis, you and your relatives can call the acute team yourselves.

ADHD – can you manage your life?

We are all different: some think fast, some are restless, some forget things. These are variations of normal. The most important question is whether it affects your life.

Are parts of your life – work, school, money, relationships – falling apart because you cannot control your attention, impulses or emotions? Then talk to us. We do a first assessment, and assessment for adults takes place in specialist healthcare after a referral from your GP.
