How to Heal Depression - Part two: If You Need It, Get Help at Once

If you think you need help, don't hesitate. Get it at once. Call your doctor.

If you feel suicidal and are afraid you might act on it, please call 911, your doctor, a crisis prevention hotline, or go immediately to your local hospital emergency room. (Our thoughts on suicide are on page 36.)

You should also seek help at once if you...

--feel you are "coming apart"

 

--are no longer in control

 

--are about to take an action you may later regret

 

--turn to alcohol, drugs, or other addictive substances in time of need

 

--feel isolated with no one to turn to

This is no time to "be brave" and attempt to "go it alone." In fact, asking for help takes enormous courage.
