Online mental health support via the
Internet is an alternative to the traditional method of mental health
support and can help you to deal with some issues such as:
- depression
- anxiety
- bullying
- relationship crisis
- decision making
- coping with stress
- coping with anger
Online mental health support is
only a form of support or consultation and can be helpful in
understanding the motives of various behaviours, and it can be very
supportive in difficult moments.
A person who offers mental health help
via the Internet (e.g. e-MyMind) is a clinical psychologist,
counselling psychologist, counsellor or psychotherapist who takes a role
of an adviser and may give more direct advice than in a traditional
face-to-face session.
Please Note:
Mental health help via the Internet is not
suitable for people who experience serious crises or who suffer from
serious mental health disorders.
In such situations, we recommend
visiting a psychologist, psychotherapist or psychiatrist. For those who
experience serious difficulties, mental health help via the Internet can
only be a temporary solution and cannot replace traditional
face-to-face therapy session with a professional.
IT CANNOT REPLACE CERTAIN METHODS AND ASPECTS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY.
Online mental health help is not
recommended for people who are taking medication and who suffer from
medical conditions that require immediate contact with a doctor.
We
want to emphasize that online Mental Health support is not a form of
traditional psychotherapy but only an initial contact with mental health
professional and it cannot replace face-to-face contact.
