Feeling worried or unhappy?
Sometimes life feels difficult and you may not be sure what to do. You may be:
- not enjoying life at NTU
- feeling low or anxious
- getting depressed
- not sleeping
- not eating properly
- having mood swings.
If so it would be helpful to see your GP or check out our staying healthy pages for useful advice and information.
You may also find it helpful to talk to some friends or family members to get their support.
If you are not sure who would be able to help, you might also want to talk to someone in Student Support Services.
Our services are non-judgmental and confidential. Student appointments are available at scheduled times throughout the week, all year round. These are for students with a range of issues or general concerns about their wellbeing and are to help you work out what would be best for you.
The appointments are bookable from the Student Centres. Alternatively, you can email the Student Support mailbox with your contact details and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
If you feel really low or ill please see your GP or call NHS Direct.
