Health Tip: Do You Need Psychological Therapy?

Everyone is sad now and then. But there’s a difference between ordinary sadness and symptoms of depression, which may warrant psychological therapy.

The American Psychological Association says you should consider therapy if:

You feel overwhelmingly helpless and sad.
You find it difficult to carry out everyday activities, such as concentrating at work.
You worry excessively, always expect the worst or are constantly on edge.
Your actions are harmful to you or to others. Examples include drinking too much, abusing drugs or becoming overly argumentative and aggressive.
