How to Know When It’s Time to Have a Mental Health Checkup

As women, we often carry the weight of multiple responsibilities, sometimes at the expense of our own well-being. If you’ve been feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, or disconnected, it may be time to check in on your mental health. Here are some signs to watch for:

• Constant stress, sadness, or overwhelm that doesn’t go away.
• Loss of joy in things you once loved.
• Irritability or withdrawing from loved ones.

Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy levels.

Many women value the insight and perspective change, gained by talking to a trusted therapist. You don’t have to have a crisis to come in for a mental health checkup.

Suggestions for self-care:

• Prioritize yourself – Make time for rest, hobbies, and activities that bring you peace.

• Talk about your feelings– Confide in a trusted friend, partner, or therapist.
• Set boundaries – Protect your time and energy by saying no when needed.
• Practice mindfulness – Deep breathing, journaling, or meditation can help you stay grounded.
• Seek professional support – Therapy can provide tools to help you navigate life’s challenges.
