Mental health awareness: when to seek help

Mental health awareness: when to seek help

September is the month of mental health awareness and here at Prosper Health Collective we thought it might be helpful to explore when it might be time to reach psychological support. As we all know, life is rarely without challenges. However, there are occasions when we can all feel confused and feel isolated or it is impossible to move forward. We can all feel this way sometimes, and it's very important to know that help is available for every problem in your life.

Some common reasons people visit a psychiatrist:

• Depression / low mood
• Anxiety / phobia
• Loss of a loved one / pets
• Stress
• Workplace difficulties
• School-based difficulties
• Family and relationship difficulties
• Friendship difficulties
• Unhealthy habits
• Addiction
• Adapt to new life conditions
• Sleep difficulties
• Support with parenting
• social support
• Emotional regulation
• clear mind
• Maintain well-being

It is important to know that you are not alone and that a psychologist will have strategies, tools and a set of unbiased support ears to listen to you and support you throughout these times. It is important to reach support when your problem or challenge affects you several times a week, or affects your life (such as stopping you from doing something). For some people, support can be specific and look at a specific area or difficulty. For others it may be more general. Nor is it uncommon for people to receive psychological support to maintain their health, perhaps through a regular monthly appointment.

Every person in Australia can access a mental health care plan through Medicare and 10 appointments with a discount per calendar year. So my advice would be if you thought it might be good to talk to someone, you might want to get some support or help in a specific area or book an appointment. During the first appointment, we will discuss your personal circumstances and let you know what support we can provide. We will develop a treatment plan for you and inform you of the service options. I think empowering people to know about support is effective in itself. You will then have the knowledge to know the services available so that you can choose the appropriate support for you.
