Can seeing a chiropractor help reduce mental stress, or do people see them mainly for medical reasons?
People see a chiropractor for many health related reasons. Understanding what the Chiropractic Healing Art offers is your first step. You can use my Web site at http://drsalzinger.chiroweb.com as an initial resource. On the left panel are many options to derive the information you will benefit from. Make sure to access the "important links" section too. From your question the extent of the mental stress is difficult to determine. If it is also causing physical stress a chiropractor and a mental health professional might be the answer to best co-manage the case.
