Mental Health Wollongong

Research confirms there is a connection between the mind and body, particularly when it comes to overall health and wellbeing. For example, exercise stimulates ‘feel good’ chemicals that improve your mood and the learning and memory functions of the brain.

Thus, mental and physical health are intertwined. Emotional issues may produce physical symptoms and if we are physically ill, we can develop emotional problems. That’s why it is beneficial to use professional techniques to address psychological problems to maintain physical and mental wellbeing.

Generally, people tend to look for professional help when they are feeling overwhelmed, unable to cope or when their behaviour is causing problems to themselves or others. This could be because of a major life event, such as the death of a loved one, divorce or the loss of a job.

Sometimes, the stress of everyday responsibilities, such as work, family or health problems is enough to trigger emotional issues where professional help may be required.

Some of the signs that indicate you may need professional help include:

• Difficulty in regulating your emotions – you may be experiencing intense negative feelings or sadness, irritability and anger.
• Changes in eating or sleeping habits – you may be eating or sleeping more or less than normal.
• You want to improve things but don’t know how.
• You may not be performing effectively at work or school – mental health problems can impair concentration, affect memory and deplete energy levels.
• You no longer enjoy activities you used to like – you may feel disconnected from what’s going on around you, or lose interest in socialising or hobbies.
• You are using substances, such as drugs or alcohol to cope.
