        But…do I need to see a therapist?

 

If you answer yes to three or more of these statements, give me a call today and set an appointment.

 

1. I am in a personal relationship in which I frequently experience painful emotions.

 

2. I feel sad, unhappy and low most every day.

 

3. The activities that used to interest me no longer provide me the same pleasure and enjoyment.

 

4. During the past year, I have experienced extreme mood swings from depression to elation without any apparent reason.

5. During the past year, my moods cycle rapidly from depressed to elated, happy or energetic.

6. I go on drinking or drug binges, using far more alcohol or drugs than originally intended, or for longer than I intended.

7. I experience one or more sudden episodes of extreme fear or panic in which I tremble, sweat, experience heart palpitations or other physical symptoms.

8. I can't keep certain persistent thoughts from popping into my head.

9. I have disturbing recollections about a traumatic event I experienced in the past.

 

10. I experience confused thinking and have trouble distinguishing between my thoughts and reality.
