How Do I Know if I Need Help From a Mental Health Professional?

You do not need to be in crisis or have a diagnosis to ask for help. If something is affecting your well-being or making everyday life harder, talking with a mental health professional may be a helpful next step.


Consider reaching out if you or a loved one are experiencing:
 

  • Ongoing sadness, anxiety, irritability, or feeling overwhelmed

  • Symptoms that have lasted two weeks or longer or continue to worsen

  • Difficulty managing responsibilities at work, school, or home

  • Changes in sleep, appetite, energy, or concentration

  • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed

  • Withdrawal from family, friends, or social activities

  • Problems in relationships or difficulty managing emotions

  • Increased use of alcohol, drugs, or other unhealthy coping methods

  • Difficulty recovering from grief, trauma, stress, or a major life change

  • Concerning changes in a child’s mood, behavior, relationships, or school performance
     

You may also seek support simply because you want to understand yourself better, develop healthier coping skills, or improve your relationships. You do not have to wait until things become unmanageable.
 

A mental health professional can listen to your concerns, help identify what may be contributing to them, and recommend appropriate next steps. Reaching out is not a sign of weakness—it is a positive step toward feeling better.


Need immediate help? If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you are experiencing emotional distress or thoughts of suicide or self-harm, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 for free, confidential support available 24 hours a day.
