Introduction
Whenever we choose anything in our life, we think a lot, analyse a bit, plan a little, and carefully check for lots of distinct options, before deciding onto selecting anything finally, which we are seeking, which might suit us for our needs. We always try to choose the better one and/or the best things in our life.
Similarly, when one looks for a mental health clinic, for his or her medical treatment, be it severe or simple, he or she searches for the better or the best clinic in his or her city. Furthermore, if the search is for critical clinics like mental health clinic, it becomes all the more important to be extra careful while deciding or short listing such clinics.
Mental health clinics provide quite effective treatment for mental and emotional problems. But to take advantage of such clinics, it is very important to select the right clinic. Mental health clinics should have experienced staff members, more specifically Doctors and/or Psychiatrists, so that they can treat you better with their experience. When you meet them you should try to figure out if you can trust him or her or not. “Is he caring or not?” “Does he listen to me properly, and make me feel more comfortable?” “Does he understand me?” “Can he bring positive changes in my life?” “Can he cure me?” “How much time will he take?” You have to be prepared to ask all these questions, and many more, whatever comes in your mind in order to get the effective treatment and to ensure that this doctor and/or clinic is good enough for you and your problems.
History
In the medieval period, mentally ill people were thought of as ‘evil’ or ‘devil’ or ‘witch’ and things like that. Later on, such people were put in jails along with other criminals. Then in modern times, it was recognized as an illness, and such people were put in asylum. From 20th century, some scientific and social theories were developed. One of the major causes, which was thought out to be responsible was mental shock, due to extreme fear and/or happiness.

Tips and comments
Every Doctor is distinct, although the treatments are almost of the same patterns. You might need to change the doctors and the clinics, if you don’t figure out a good understanding between you and the doctor. You must not rely completely on the doctor to spoon feed you, you have to actively participate with him or her to get cured. You might feel irritated, frustrated, and the process of treatment may remind you of painful memories and the past, but don’t worry the doctor will help you with this. You can communicate with the doctor about your apprehensions, and the expectations. There are many things you can do to improve your mental and emotional health, for instance, you can eat and sleep well, exercise, relax, play, and keep yourself busy in doing things you like.
