If you're experiencing psychological distress or you want to improve your life by changing negative thought patterns, you can choose from different types of mental health providers to go to.

Depression and Anxiety

Depression and anxiety are very common. Depression symptoms described in the The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) include:

*Persistent sadness or feelings of emptiness
*Feelings of hopelessness
*Fatigue and loss of energy
*Loss of interest in activities and hobbies
*Difficulty sleeping or oversleeping
*Physical symptoms such as digestive disorders and headaches
*Thoughts of suicide or suicide attempts Anxiety is another common mental health issue, where individuals are overcome by worry, tension, or panic. Patients may experience generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or specific and social phobias.

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive-behavioural therapy is a kind of talking therapy that is generally provided by psychologists. It can help you cope more effectively with everything from mood issues to relationship problems. Cognitive-behavioural therapy is used for many common mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, and stress. When you see a psychologist for cognitive-behavioural therapy, he or she will gather information about your situation and history, and help you identify how your feelings, thoughts and behaviours are affecting you. You'll develop a treatment plan with goals, exploring your feelings around the situation and recognizing negative thought patterns.

Relationship Counselling

Whether it's a relationship with your mom or your significant other, it will go through ups and downs. However, if there are issues that you can't seem to get past, it might be a good time to consider relationship counselling. A psychologist provides a safe place for individuals to come together and share relationship problems. If a couple comes in for counselling and decide that their marriage can't be saved, the psychologist can help them start separation or divorce proceedings in the most neutral and amicable way possible. Choose mental health providers or mental health videos and articles from the menu to learn more.
