This part of our website discusses a number of fairly common mental health problems that generally require some kind of treatment. This list is not at all comprehensive, since I have just written about those problems and diagnoses that I feel I know well. My discussion of these problems is intended to help potential patients or family members understand whether or not they might have one of these problems, and what type of professional help to look for if they do.
