Time+for+help?✰



How does a person know when they should seek professional help?? As a part of my research, I interviewed a psychiatrist and wondered, when should a person seek help from a psychiatrist because of their emotions? If a person is aware of their internal emotions and they are very sad most of the time, feel worried or unhappy, very rarely feel happiness or joy, or have an overwhelming sense of sadness and don't know why, then they should see a professional. Another time when it is necessary to visit a professional, is if they are fearful all the time but there is nothing to be afraid of. Sometimes people don't tune in to their feelings very well and good friends or family members have to say to them, "I think there is something wrong, you should get some help." Don't take these things offensively, people say these things because they care about you and love you. I also interviewed a psychology graduate student and asked her the same thing, her response being, "If a person is in a down mood and has other symptoms like problems sleeping, eating problems, crying a lot, feeling bad about themselves, thinking about death for a while, 2 weeks, then they should think about getting help. If a person is thinking about death a lot then they should always get help."
