If you have mental health symptoms, discuss them with your GP first. Afterwards, the GP can ask the mental health practice nurse ('praktijkondersteuner GGZ' or 'POH-GGZ') to help you. For example, by helping to define your problems and by arranging short-term treatment. The mental health practice nurse will regularly discuss how things are going with your GP. Like the GP, the counsilor will keep your personal and medical information confidential.
