Recognizing a Problem

If you are distressed (for example, feeling anxious or depressed) and think that you may have a mental health problem, you should seek help. Remember that everyone feels stressed or anxious from time to time. If the feelings continue for more than two weeks, prevent you from eating, sleeping or working, interfere with the quality of your relationships, or if you want to harm yourself, you should seek help.

Check to see what resources are available from your employer, your health plan and within your community.  (Some employers have Employee Assistance Plans or EAPs which can provide links to counseling

If you don’t know where to go for assistance you can also contact your local mental health association. Or, contact The Mental Health Association in Pennsylvania, 717/346-0549.
