As our health is such an important part of life, it is understandable if you are concerned sometimes about your health too. Many people can have difficulties with their health at some stage throughout their lives. If you feel unwell, either physically or mentally, you have the right to get help and support. This could include talking to a doctor (GP) or another trusted adult about your health worries. A doctor can then either offer treatment or else they can refer the person to another health specialist who can provide extra support for different types of health concerns.
