Community-Based: During the 1970s, there were multi-disciplinary community mental health centers established. These centers had therapists and groups and often offered occupational and recreational therapy to a broad range of individuals within their catchment area. On the other hand, there were far fewer options in terms of psychiatric medications than there are now.

Life changing events like a divorce, children moving into adulthood, relocation, financial changes, work changes all can really increase mental health issues and professional support is often important at these times.

Start w/ Regular Dr.: You're making a good move to get help for your concerns. It's perfectly fine to ask your regular physician about your mental health concerns. He or she can assist you in getting answers to your questions or setting up an appointment with a psychiatrist or psychologist. There is help available. Just keep asking and sharing the problem with others until you get the help you want.
