TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR WELL-BEING
MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND FOLLOW-UP
Mental health deserves the same attention as physical health. Whether you are going through a period of intense anxiety, burnout, depression or difficulty functioning day to day, our professionals are here to support you, without judgment and with rigour.
What is
mental health?
Mental health is the state of your psychological and emotional well-being. It is an essential resource for living a healthy life, and a key component of overall health, just like physical health. Weakened mental health can develop into a mental or physical illness if it is not addressed.
What influences your mental health

Parental relationships, separation, grief, caregiver responsibilities.
Work and finances
Overload, job insecurity, financial difficulties, toxic environment.

How can you take care of your mental health?
Taking care of your mental health requires the same attention as physical health. It takes practice, patience and support, and it is never too late to start.
- Maintain regular sleep and physical activity routines
- Nurture your social relationships and ask for help without shame
- Learning to recognize your own emotional warning signs
- Reduce alcohol and substance use
- See a professional as soon as symptoms persist for more than two weeks
When should you see a professional?
You don't need to wait for a crisis to seek help. If you notice changes in your mood, sleep, concentration or motivation that have lasted more than two weeks, it's the right time to talk to a professional.
- Persistent anxiety that interferes with daily life
- Lasting sadness or loss of interest in usual activities

- Wait times for mental health services in Quebec can exceed several months. Without a structured program, employees are left without support when they need it most.
- An employee in difficulty who is not supported costs the organization more, in absenteeism, lost productivity and the risk of prolonged presenteeism.

Frequently asked questions : Mental health
Anxiety, depression, burnout, ADHD, time off work, psychology, clear answers about our mental health assessment and follow-up services at Clinique Omicron, at the clinic and by telemedicine in Quebec.
No. At Clinique Omicron, you can book an appointment directly without a prior medical referral. You will be assessed by one of our professionals from the first consultation, whether at the clinic or by telemedicine, anywhere in Quebec. You also don't need an established diagnosis to seek care, if you feel something isn't right, that is already a valid reason to book an appointment.
Clinique Omicron offers comprehensive care for many issues: anxiety and anxiety disorders (panic, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, phobias), depression and mood disorders, burnout and occupational exhaustion, adult ADHD, insomnia and sleep disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), grief and difficult transitions, eating disorders, youth and adolescent mental health, intimate partner violence with IVAC follow-up, and time off work (CNESST, insurance).
That is precisely the purpose of the first consultation. The doctor assesses whether there is a medical component to your condition, hormonal imbalance, deficiency, neurological disorder or underlying physical condition, and refers you to the most appropriate professional for your needs: a doctor, a psychologist, or both in a coordinated approach. At Clinique Omicron, medicine and psychology work together under one roof.
Yes. Most of our mental health services can be provided entirely remotely through our secure teleconsultation platform, psychological follow-up, prescription renewals, follow-up consultations and medical assessments. This service is available anywhere in Quebec, from your home or your workplace, with no travel and no waiting room.
Yes. Our doctors can prescribe medication, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, ADHD treatments, short-term sleep aids, when clinically indicated and after a comprehensive assessment. Medication is always offered as part of a holistic approach that includes psychological follow-up and behavioural strategies. It is never imposed and is discussed openly with the patient.
You don't need to wait for a crisis to seek help. If you notice changes in your mood, sleep, concentration or motivation that have persisted for more than two weeks, it's the right time. Other signs warrant a prompt consultation: anxiety that interferes with daily life, significant exhaustion even after rest, repetitive negative thoughts, difficulty performing usual tasks, or feeling overwhelmed for no apparent reason.
Depending on the situation, a mental health consultation with a physician participating in the public plan may be covered by the RAMQ. Consultations in psychology or with other mental health professionals (psychotherapist, social worker) are not covered by the RAMQ, but may be reimbursed in whole or in part by your group or personal insurance. See our Pricing section or contact us to find out the fees for the type of consultation you want.
Absolutely. All consultations are subject to professional secrecy and medical confidentiality. No information may be shared with a third party, employer, family, insurer, without your explicit consent, except where there is a legal obligation strictly governed by law (imminent danger to yourself or others). This confidentiality also applies within the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
Our doctors can assess your condition and issue a medical certificate for time off work if clinically justified. We also complete the forms required for your private insurance, the CNESST or IVAC, depending on your situation. A gradual return-to-work follow-up can be planned in coordination with your employer or insurer, based on medical recommendations and your pace of recovery.
The duration varies depending on the nature and severity of the issue. Some situations stabilize within a few weeks with targeted support; others require support over several months. There is no set duration: your care plan is reassessed regularly based on your progress. The goal is to adapt the follow-up to your pace and your actual needs, not to follow a rigid protocol.
Yes. Clinique Omicron offers consultations specifically adapted to youth and adolescents for the most common issues: school anxiety, adolescent depression, ADHD, behavioural and relational difficulties. The approach is caring and takes into account the realities specific to young people. Family members are involved according to needs and the young person's level of maturity, always with respect for their confidentiality.
