When is it worth going to a psychologist? We live in times when our mind is overloaded with countless stimuli and in which problems and emotions often overwhelm us, leaving damage accumulating in the psyche. Fortunately, there are specialists who can help us. What are the signs that we may need psychological counseling?
Who is a psychologist?
It is worth distinguishing a psychologist from a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a doctor who specializes in mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, clinical depression or severe personality disorders. He has in his repertoire pharmacological agents that are often used as a last resort when normal therapy fails. A psychologist is a person who, through therapy and conversation, can help us understand ourselves, the motives of our behavior and feelings.
Going to a psychologist is not a reason to be ashamed, but the greatest expression of respect and love for yourself. Just as a doctor relieves the suffering of the body, a psychologist deals with the ills of our mind, pulling his patients out of even the biggest pits and showing them what to do to feel relief and happiness from problems that none of them are condemned to.
