When do u know that u must see a shrink?

Question

How do u know if what u r feeling isnt a very common thing and that u need to see someone professional about ur depression or stress or anxiety ... ?

Answer 1

if youre wondering should I see a shrink, its probably a good time to sign up for one. Its nothing to be ashamed or embarassed of, a lot of times we need the assistance of others to help us with issues we cant correct on our own. Its always best to keep your self emotionally stable.

Some other signs: issues keep reoccuring, you cant let it go, these emotions creep on you, you begin to feel powerless or overwhelmed, or you feel alone.

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

It isn't a question of "when" but "why".
I find it useful to bounce ideas off a professional who deals with (in my case) family issues.
A neutral party who can offer experienced advice is incredibly useful in helping people organize their lives.
