Mental health conditions are common and treatable. In Zimbabwe, approximately 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health challenge in their lifetime. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Early intervention can make a significant difference in recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need to see a psychologist?

Consider seeking help if you're experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, difficulty functioning in daily life, relationship problems, or if past traumas are affecting you. Even if you're not in crisis, a psychologist can help you develop better coping strategies and improve your overall wellbeing.

What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

Psychologists provide therapy and psychological assessments but do not prescribe medication. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Often, people benefit from seeing both professionals.

How much does therapy cost in Zimbabwe?

Costs vary depending on the psychologist's experience and location. Many medical aid schemes cover psychological services. Some community centers and NGOs offer low-cost or sliding-scale services. Contact providers directly to discuss fees and payment options.

Is what I tell my psychologist confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental principle of therapy. However, psychologists are required to break confidentiality in cases involving risk of harm to yourself or others, child abuse, or when ordered by a court. Your psychologist will explain these limits during your first session.

How long does therapy take?

The duration varies based on individual needs and goals. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (6-12 sessions), while others may engage in longer-term treatment. You and your psychologist will work together to develop a treatment plan that's right for you.
