When should I see a behavioral therapist?

Determining whether or not you have mental issues such as depression or anxiety can be a tough call. Mental issues such as depression can take various forms, and it is imperative to familiarize yourself with the signs so that you seek timely help. If you are regularly irritated, have lost interest in activities, or are experiencing changes in eating habits and sleep patterns, it is time to see a therapist. Besides, if you continuously entertain thoughts of suicide and death, you definitely need help. Additionally, if safety towards yourself and others is becoming a significant issue of concern or if your emotional or behavioral problems impact your functioning and daily activities, seek professional help immediately.
