If you're struggling with constant overthinking and anxiety after a relationship change or exam stress, you're not alone. This page guides you on where to find professional mental health support in Pakistan.
That sounds like a very heavy load right now – the relationship changes, the exam results, and the way your mind won’t settle, especially at night. It is genuinely hard when one thing after another piles up, and the overthinking becomes a kind of loop you can’t step out of. You are asking the right question: where to find real, professional mental health support in Pakistan. That is a concrete step, and it matters.
Start with our directory. On depression.pk, the /find-help page lists mental-health professionals across Pakistan – psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists. You can filter by city and see their contact details, fees, and languages they speak. Many offer online sessions, which makes it easier even if you are in a smaller town. It is a good first place to look because the listed people have been verified by our team.
Ask your family doctor or a general practitioner. They often know local psychiatrists or can refer you to one. If you are a student, your university may have a counselling centre; many now offer free or very low-cost sessions. Some NGO helplines can also guide you to affordable care, but I will not give a number here – just know that the /find-help page is your starting point.
While you are waiting for an appointment, the overthinking at night is a real struggle. Do one thing: keep your phone away from your bed. Write down the thoughts on a piece of paper – just a few words – and say to yourself, “I will look at this tomorrow.” It won’t stop everything, but it can break the loop. Our /learn/mindfulness guide has a simple overthinking exercise that takes five minutes.
You are not alone in this. Many people have been where you are. The important part is that you are looking for help – that itself is a sign that things can shift. And Zara is here if you want to talk right now, just to let it out.
