You should get counselling when:

* You feel you can no longer manage a problem on your own.

* Your life is being harmed by a problem you cannot seem to solve.

* Your problem is getting worse, not better.

* You have lost interest in life or think it's not worth living.

* You have emotions that cause lasting pain and distress, such as sadness or anxiety.

* Your relationships with others have a lot of conflict.

* You and your family don't seem able to cooperate with one another.
