Treatment options

There are a variety of different treatment options to deal with a mental illness or common mental health disorder. These options will vary according to the severity, duration and functional impairment caused by the mental disorder. These options range from self-care to psychotherapy, combined, when necessary, with pharmacological treatment. They are part of a stepped care model being put forward by the Ministère de la santé et des services sociaux du Québec.¹

Below is information about the different treatment options as well as tips for looking after your mental health.
