Mental health issues are very common. Statistics from a recent study by the National Alliance on Mental Health says that one out of five American adults lives with a mental health condition. One in 25 adults lives with a serious mental health condition. But despite 20% of the population suffering from less than optimal mental health, relatively few people seek treatment or are able to get help. The same study found that only 40% of people with mental health conditions get the help they need – that\u2019s less than half!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Untreated mental health issues often get worse over time and can have a very real negative impact on your life. On top of the reduced quality of life and unhappiness that you personally suffer, untreated mental health conditions can lead to:<\/span><\/p>\n We are not trying to scare you by mentioning suicide. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for people in the United States between the ages of 10 and 34. 90% of people who die by suicide in America lived with a mental health condition.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n We would argue that everyone can benefit from therapy. Stress, anxiety, depression (with a little d), trauma, and uncertainty are all side natural effects of being alive and human. Broken family relationships, dysfunctional romantic relationships, breakups, death, work stress – they all take a toll and inspire the creation of coping mechanisms. Therapy is a way to understand why we react the way we do and it gives us the tools we need to navigate our emotions, thought processes, and habits thoughtfully and healthily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 But going to therapy can, unfortunately, still come with a stigma attached. People think something has to be \u201cwrong\u201d with them in order to seek help. This is patently untrue. There is nothing wrong with people who have mental health conditions – and we\u2019ve already pointed out that one in five people do have them. There are simply different ways for brains and hormones and body chemistry to interact. We call this being \u201cneural a-typical\u201d. Not wrong. Just different.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, there are signs to look out for that you definitely <\/span>should<\/span><\/i> seek help from a trained mental health professional:<\/span><\/p>\n If any of these ring true, it\u2019s likely time to seek therapy. If you are having thoughts of suicide or self-harm, therapy is likely a good long-term treatment, but you should seek emergency help immediately. Call a suicide hotline, the police, or check yourself into the hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 If you\u2019re still not sure, here is a list of emotions and feelings that may be symptoms of a mental health issue:<\/span><\/p>\n And a good rule of thumb when you\u2019re deciding if therapy could be right for you is – if you\u2019re reading this article or others like it, you could probably benefit from therapy. When you\u2019re seeking solutions, it\u2019s likely because there is a problem – no matter how insignificant you think it is. There is no shame in taking care of your mental health.
