When Do I Need Help?

This is a great question! How do you know when you are in need of mental health care? Everyone experiences emotions such as fear, sadness, anger, guilt, grief, regret, etc. These emotions are part of the human condition. It is normal for all of us to experience these emotions at times in our lives as well as the feelings of joy, happiness, euphoria and more. It is when our emotions and the management of our emotions start to interfere with our ability to function effectively at home, work, school or social situations that there is a real call to seek assistance. When fear keeps you from being able to go out of your home or keeps you from being able to perform in the work place are good indicators you are struggling; but DON'T wait until these symptoms significantly effect your functioning. When you or family/friends start to notice that you are struggling in these areas, this is the time to get help. The sooner you get help, the quicker your recovery will be!
