Let's talk it out
My Mental Health: Do I Need Help? First, determine how much your symptoms interfere with your daily life
. For example, do I have mild symptoms that have lasted for less than 2 weeks?
• Feeling a little down
• Feeling down but still able to do the job, schoolwork, or housework
• Some trouble sleeping
• Feeling down but still able to take care of yourself or take care of others
​
If so, here are some self-care activities that can help:
• Exercising (e.g., aerobics, yoga)
• Engaging in social contact (virtual or in-person)
• Getting adequate sleep on a regular schedule
• Eating healthy
• Talking to a trusted friend or family member • Practicing meditation, relaxation, and mindfulness
​
If the symptoms above do not improve or seem to be worsening despite self-care efforts, talk to your
healthcare provider.
Do I have severe symptoms that have lasted 2 weeks or more?
• Difficulty sleeping
• Appetite changes that result in unwanted weight changes
• Struggling to get out of bed in the morning because of mood
• Difficulty concentrating
• Loss of interest in things you usually find enjoyable
• Unable to perform usual daily functions and responsibilities
• Thoughts of death or self-harm

We Can Help You To Manage
Stress
Stress
Stress can impact our lives negatively. It can cause physical conditions, such as headaches, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances. It can also cause psychological and emotional strains, including confusion, anxiety, and depression.
Good stress, called eustress, can be beneficial to you. Good stress can help with motivation, focus, energy, and performance, unlike bad stress or distress. For some people, it can also feel exciting.
Depression
Depression
Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, think, and act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to various emotional and physical problems and decrease a person’s ability to function at work and home.
Anxiety
Anxiety
Anxiety is an emotion characterized by tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure. People with anxiety disorders usually have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns. They may avoid certain situations out of worry.
