When to Get Help

We all experience feelings of anxiety and sadness sometimes.  So how do you decide if you or someone you care about might need to talk to a therapist?

The American Psychological Association website contains a description of anxiety symptoms (which includes PTSD) and treatment.  The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) provides a thorough description of depression signs at different ages and treatment options.  You can also download a PDF of the NIMH Depression booklet.  Detailed information about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and available treatment options can be found at NIMH as well.
