When to Seek Professional Help for Anxiety or Depression

Everyone experiences stress, worry, or sadness from time to time—but when these feelings become persistent, overwhelming, or start affecting your daily life, it may be time to seek professional help.

If anxiety or depression interferes with your ability to work, sleep, concentrate, or maintain relationships, don’t ignore the signs. Common symptoms include constant fatigue, irritability, loss of interest in activities, frequent panic attacks, difficulty making decisions, and feelings of hopelessness. If these symptoms last more than two weeks, it’s important to speak to a mental health professional.
