I just had to contact the intake therapist at our Mental Health Clinic because my daughter, who is suffering from Clinical depression, was having suicidal thoughts and told me she needed help. She saw a psychiatrist that day even though she had only just been put on the program at this clinic. So, even if you don't think it's that serious being wrong can be tragic.
