Mental Health Services in Ireland

If you have a gambling problem, you are more likely than not also experiencing some form of mental health issue - which may either be a result of your gambling or, in some cases, the cause of your gambling.  Family members and other concerned persons may also be experiencing mental health issues as a result of gambling-related harm.  The most common issues associated with gambling are Anxiety and Depression.  We have compiled a list of Irish Mental Health Services (below).  This is not an exhaustive list and we are not endorsing any of these services by listing them here.
