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.
