How do I know if I need Mental or Behavioral Health Services?

Everyone's experience is different, but it's important to know that mental health issues are manageable — and support is available. If your behavior is causing your physical health to suffer and you can't make positive long-lasting changes on your own, it's time to get help. Excessive eating, drinking, drug use, and smoking are just a few examples of behaviors that can lead to serious physical problems such as addiction, diabetes or cardiac conditions. The way you feel, think, act and react can also have a physical impact on your life. Depression and anxiety can lead to sleeplessness, high cholesterol levels, increased risk of stroke or heart attack, and other major health concerns, even self-injury or suicide.
