Unlike physical wounds and illness where it’s obvious that you should seek treatment, it’s more difficult for some people to know when it’s time for mental health treatment/professional therapy. Today, at Jane L. Ades, we’re discussing four common reasons to seek professional therapy. Keep reading to learn more and feel free to reach out anytime — we’re happy to help!
If you’ve been professionally diagnosed with depression or have been experiencing strong depression symptoms, this is a tell-tale sign that it’s time to seek help. It’s important for you to know that you are not alone, you don’t have to deal with it alone, and it is not your fault. Depression is often due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. You don’t have to “suck it up” or “get over it.” Find the help you need at Jane L. Ades in Roslyn Heights today.
Addicts don’t always want to admit that they have a problem. However, if you know you have a problem and actively want to take steps to treat your addiction, this is an excellent opportunity to seek therapy. Addiction is a serious disease and must be treated as such. While it is possible to kick some addictions on your own, it’s significantly easier and more effective when you seek professional help.
Grief is an extremely powerful and complex emotion. Everyone grieves differently, and some people have an easier time working through it than others. The good news is that you don’t have to navigate through the complexity of your grief on your own. If you’ve recently experienced a major loss, this is a very good reason to seek out professional therapy services. There is no shame in admitting when you need help, and professional therapy can provide you with the tools you need to handle nearly any situation.
Anger is another powerful and complex emotion that is often used to hide a deeper fear or pain. One reason that people seek professional therapy is to help explore, understand, and control their anger. Regardless of why you are experiencing regular and severe anger, professional therapy through Jane L. Ades can help.
The above reasons are far from the only reasons people should seek therapy! Professional therapy should be thought of in the same way a routine check-up is thought of — a natural and normal process to ensure that everything is okay and prevent future issues.
