No male-specific mental health services available.
(Note: Unfortunately, there is not a lot of support for mental health in Sri Lanka. Basically, your family doctor is the first point of contact for the diagnosis and treatment of depression. In emergencies, eg. urgent and specific suicidal thoughts, please contact the nearest psychiatric clinic or the emergency doctor at 112.
