Problems related to mental health can happen to almost every one of us. Stress, problems at home and work – they might all generate the feelings of sadness and despondency, anger and frustration. These are all valid emotions and people who experience them initially try to manage them on their own. However, if such emotions cause significant distress in your life, seem to be out of control and start to affect your daily existence, it is time to seek professional help. Remember that mental health disorders are widespread and that you are not alone in facing them. So, what are the reasons to consult a psychiatrist?
See a psychiatrist if for more than 2 weeks you experience:
There are times when it is difficult to assess our mental health on our own. If a person close to us tells us that our behaviour has changed substantially and they are worried about our mental state it is better to trust them and see a specialist. Even if we ourselves cannot see the symptoms listed above.
