When to Seek Help

Everyday stressors are common; however, when the stress is prolonged or overwhelming and you are not able to cope (for example, you think about it constantly or others are telling you that they think that you need help), it can become physically and/or psychologically harmful.  A “suck it up and keep going” ethos can help in the moment of crisis, but it is not a good tactic afterwards if it keeps you from seeking helpful treatment.

You should consider seeking consultation with a mental health professional if:

• You are experiencing any symptoms that worry you and/or are causing you distress.
• Your symptoms are causing significant changes in your relationships.
• Your symptoms are making it hard to do your job.
• You are abusing alcohol or drugs to feel better.
• You are unable to find relief with your regularly used coping skills.
• You just want or need to talk to someone who can listen.
• You are thinking about harming yourself or someone else.
