Mental health problems occur when there is disturbance in thoughts, feelings and behavior. They can vary from mild to moderate to severe resulting in inability to cope up with ordinary tasks and daily routine work. There are more than 200 mental disorders classified based on symptoms and severity. Major signs of any disorder include unmanageability in any of the five aspects of an individual’s life. They are social, psychological, biological, academic/ professional and spiritual aspects. When dysfunctionality demands treatment then the individual moves towards seeking mental health for his problems.

It is commonly observed that people tend to seek professional help only when they encounter situations that get out of their control. When they become dysfunctional in five major aspects of normal functioning or when they experience suicidal ideation or severe symptoms of their diseases. Seeking help at the time of crisis does help but it can’t help us recover immediately. Mental health issues originate over years of dysfunctionality in thoughts and behaviors. It is highly cure able when diagnosed at an early stage.

However, clients who seek help at an early stage are at better chance to recover fast and change their thoughts or behavior that may lead them to devastating condition. Therefore, it is required to run awareness programs for young students at school, college or university level. We need to guide them to express themselves openly. We need to create a positive attitude toward help seeking specially for mental health problems. They should be educated to track negative changes in their thoughts and behavior when they encounter bad situations. It is highly recommended that they should be guided about healthy coping strategies that can help them cope up bad situations in better ways.  

When coming for professional help, the clients need to know that this session is not typically like other sessions with other medical doctors. Here mental health professional would be interested in knowing deep history about your problem. It is unlike other doctors who ask you about symptoms of your diseases and prescribe certain medicine for a certain period of time. Counselors’/ Psychologists’ diagnosis of a disease is based on 2 to 3 complete sessions. They cannot prescribe any therapy in one session.

When going to a Counselor Keep following things in mind:

  • Your session will last from 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • The professional will ask you a big list of questions.
  • These questions will be regarding five basic areas of your life and your symptoms as well.
  • He will conduct different psychometric tests to confirm diagnosis.
  • These tests are used for the same purpose as other blood tests used by other doctors.
  • Then the professional would make a plan based on your symptoms and history of your problem to treat you.
  • Duration of treatment depends on severity of your symptoms and diseases.
  • As long as you will be positive and would comply with the treatment your recovery will be guaranteed.

One last and most important thing to keep in mind is that only those clients recover from treatment who want to recover.
