You Can Ask for Help

Stress from work, school, family, money, language, or isolation can become serious. You do not need to wait until it becomes impossible.

Where to Start

You can ask a hospital, local consultation desk, city office, school, company, or mental health support service.

Write Your Symptoms

Write sleep, appetite, mood, anxiety, work trouble, family situation, and when it started. Short notes help explain your condition.

Language Support

If Japanese is difficult, check multilingual consultation or ask a trusted person to help you contact support.

Emergency Risk

If you may hurt yourself or someone else, seek urgent help immediately through emergency services or nearby people.
