Booking a visit is as easy as a quick phone call or a few moments on the online scheduling page, so don’t delay.

Why is mental health support necessary?

Far too many people only think of mental health in terms of serious, debilitating disorders. In reality, mental health affects everyone. Even if you’ve never been diagnosed with a mental health issue, you still rely on your mental health to weather the ups and downs of life.

It should also be noted that for many people, stress and life events like a divorce, job loss, or the death of a loved one can strain mental health. Things can worsen gradually, making it hard to know when to seek help.

There’s nothing wrong with seeking mental health support, whether you’re simply looking for tools and techniques to boost your resilience or manage stress, or if you’re concerned about changes in day-to-day functioning.

What are some indications that I might benefit from mental health services?

Mental health is a complex topic, and you can face many different issues. Here are some of the more common changes that could be a sign of a mental health condition:

• Sleeping more or less than usual
• Eating more or less than usual
• Lingering sadness or low mood with no clear cause
• Inability to enjoy things that once brought happiness
• Feelings of worthlessness
• Feelings of hopelessness
• Restlessness or racing thoughts
• Changes in the way you relate to others
• Problems concentrating at home or work

Thoughts of self-harm or suicide are the most serious mental health symptoms and should be treated in an emergency medical setting right away.

How long will I need mental health support?

There’s no one path toward enhanced mental health. Your journey will be unique, and shaped by several factors. The challenges you face, your overall health, and any mental health diagnoses you might receive can guide your treatment path.

Some people only need a relatively short time of counseling or talk therapy to bolster their mental health. For others, medication might be the best fit, and a period of trial and error may be needed to find the right option and dosage.

No matter what your mental health needs may be, you’re in the best of hands. The practitioners at Wylie Walk In Urgent Care have extensive training and experience in mental health support, and are here to help you find a path forward.
