Help for Mental Health Disorders

Asking for help when it comes to mental health disorders can be challenging — that’s what makes it so important to find a provider you can trust. Read through some signs and see if you should seek help from a mental health disorder provider today.

Affecting Your Life

Is your mental health disorder causing problems in your day-to-day life? For example, is it affecting your relationships with friends and family? Are you missing work or school due to your mental health disorder? When you’re experiencing the effects of your mental health on your life, that’s a good time to seek help. A mental health provider will help you find practical solutions so you can start improving those relationships and see success at your job or with your schoolwork.

Recent Trauma

If you recently experienced a challenge or trauma, you might want to see mental health services. Even though you might not have a history with mental health disorders, it can be helpful to find a provider who can walk you through any recent life changes, like the loss of a loved one or a large change in your career or finances.

Problem with Alcohol, Drugs, or Other Substances

If you notice that you’re abusing alcohol, drugs, or other substances, that’s a good time to ask for help. Even if you don’t think that your problem is out of control yet, working with a mental health disorder practitioner can help you prevent a potential problem. Take some time and ask for help, especially when it comes to substance abuse.

Recent Changes in Mood or Body

Have you noticed a change in your mood or motivation? Do you feel more tired? Are you sleeping more? Are you sleeping less or feeling restless at night?

All of these changes could be signs of a mental health disorder. If you’re worried about these symptoms causing problems in your health and everyday life, seek some help. A provider will help you work through what’s causing those symptoms and find ways to make your mental health a priority.
