When your life spins out of control, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. The American Psychological Association advises that you get the help of a trained mental health provider if:

• You constantly worry.
• You feel trapped.
• You aren’t getting any better with self-help.
• You feel as if you can’t handle things alone.
• Your feelings are affecting your job, relationships, or sleep or eating habits.
• You have thoughts of suicide, Get medical care right away.
• You should also get help if someone who knows you well suggests that you go to counseling. Or if you have an untreated problem with substance abuse.

These are only some of the symptoms that call for getting help. You may have others that concern you. The first person to talk with may be your family healthcare provider. This is to find out if your symptoms may be caused by health conditions. If a health condition is not the cause, your provider may be able to suggest a mental health provider. If you do not currently have a primary care provider, we can help you find one – Start by searching here.
