HeadsUp does not offer clinical services.
It may be helpful to take a little time and prepare some basic information before you bring it up. Sometimes writing down or recording your thoughts and feelings is helpful especially if you are feeling mentally foggy or disorganized. You can also have a simple fact sheet printed out or pulled up on an electronic device that briefly explains what you think you are experiencing, especially if you tend to get nervous in the moment.
