Signs That Indicate You Need Help from a Licensed Mental Health Professional

Life can get challenging sometimes. It can bring such situations that can take a toll on your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. This can affect your capacity to work and fulfill obligations. In times like these, having a certified Sarasota counselor by your side can be beneficial. 

Although most people refrain from talking openly about mental health, negligence can lead to even bigger problems. If you have been wondering whether you should go to a counselor, here are a few signs that might help you decide. 

  • Disproportionate rage, anger, and resentment: Anger is a natural emotion that you might feel certain times that eventually passes. However, if you are experiencing anger that doesn’t pass or is disproportionate as compared to the situation, talking to a counselor will be a great idea.

  • Apathy: If you seem to lose interest in regular activities and life in general, then it might be indicative of depression or anxiety.

  • Fatigue: Mental health issues are usually coupled with extreme fatigue resulting in excess sleep or trouble getting out of bed. This can indicate depression or anxiety.

  • Social withdrawal: If you feel that you are withdrawing from people and avoid being amongst people even if you know them, then you might be experiencing social withdrawal. Consult a counselor right away!

  • Hopelessness: If you have persistent hopelessness, then it can indicate a mental health issue. If not treated, then it can also lead to thoughts of suicide.
