Who Can Benefit From Counselling?
People who find it difficult to cope with their emotions, to think clearly
or engage in behaviours (that are out of the ordinary) which cause suffering
to them or their family.
What is Mental Illness?
Mental illness is a medical illness like diabetes or muscular dystrophy. It is
no one's fault and may be caused by factors such as stress, medical illness, physical
injury or by chemical imbalances in the brain.
Indicators of When to Ask for Help
Feelings or behaviours that do not seem to go away and cause trouble in coping
with daily life
Usually most people can handle the problems of daily life but sometimes unusual
stressful situations occur making it difficult to cope. Some signs to look
for, include:
- Changes in mood or behaviour
- Tension, anxiety or fear
- Feeling sad or hopeless
- Loss of self-confidence
- Withdrawal from friends or normal activities
- Unexplainable physical complaints
