When an individual experiences a mental health problem, contact with their GP is usually their first formal attempt to seek help. This contact can be the key to a timely and successful resolution of their mental health problem. The GP will either identify the problem and treat it or refer the person on to the locally based consultant-led mental health team.
Consultant-led multidisciplinary teams provide services on a geographical basis to the following districts:
- Ballymun (01) 846 7084

- Marino (01) 836 9900
