If you asked the average person if they thought mental health was important for a happy life, they’d probably answer affirmatively. It seems painfully obvious, doesn’t it? So why do so many people who experience anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues not seek out the help they need to get better?
Stigma certainly has something to do with it. While we’ve made great strides as a society in generating awareness about the importance of mental health, some of that negative judgment still remains. People don’t typically feel any shame in seeing a doctor when they’ve suffered an injury but the same can’t always be said about mental, emotional, and behavioral issues.
For other people, it may simply feel easier to put it off. There are always work tasks to take care of, family responsibilities to handle, and a never-ending checklist of to-dos to tackle. Life gets in the way and our mental health sometimes gets the short end of the stick.
But if you’re hoping to live a life of health, happiness, and fulfillment, neglecting your mental health certainly won’t help. When you’re ready to make self-care a priority and take the next step, our psychologists, therapists, counselors, and other mental health professionals are ready to help. Contact Thriveworks Counseling Salt Lake City to get started.
When Should I See a Therapist or Counselor?
Mental health problems aren’t always intense and sudden. Many people go through their lives suffering from mild symptoms of depression or anxiety.

- Panic attacks

- Relationship issues
- Career difficulties, unemployment, or uncertainty
- Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness

- Major life transitions
