With mental health problems, there are no precise threshold values like with most physical ailments, above which we must consult a doctor.

Therefore, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly when to begin psychotherapy. However, if you're asking yourself this question, it's an indication that you have a problem that is weighing on you or your mind.
