When to Seek Additional Help

While coping tools are helpful, they're not a replacement for professional mental health care. Consider reaching out to a mental health professional if:

  • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite using coping strategies
  • You're having thoughts of harming yourself or others
  • Your daily functioning is significantly impaired
  • You feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start
