Stress
Stress
is at an all-time high for many Americans. Constant worrying about
being laid-off, going through a divorce, war, and dealing with
life-threatening illness are but a few of the situations that test an
individual's coping abilities. While most people understand the
importance of taking care of these problems, almost half of the
population doesn't know when it is appropriate to seek professional
help.
The following are some indicators of when it is time to ask for
professional help:
- You feel trapped with no where to turn
- You worry a lot and cannot concentrate
- Your feelings are affecting your sleep, eating habits, job, family
life and other aspects of everyday life
Many people think they need to solve their own problems. While this is
often possible, sometimes people reach a point where getting better on
their own is difficult to nearly impossible.
Early detection and treatment can keep stress from developing into more
serious physical problems such as ulcers, headaches, back pain,
colitis, and other chronic pain illnesses. Health and Wellness Group's
qualified mental health professionals can help address the causes of
distress and teach effective ways to deal with their causes.
