When and where should I seek help?
Most people who feel bad after a frightening experience do not need to seek help from healthcare services. But it is important to seek help if you or someone in your family does not start to feel better after two to four weeks.
In such case, contact one of these clinics:
- a healthcare centre (vårdcentral)
- a youth guidance centre (ungdomsmottagning)
- an urgent care centre
- a psychiatric clinic.

If you are feeling very bad or have thoughts of not wanting to live, call 112 or go straight to an emergency department.
