You feel an overwhelming and prolonged sense of helplessness
and sadness, and your problems do not seem to get better despite
your efforts and help from family and friends;
You are finding it difficult to carry out everyday activities.
For example, you are unable to concentrate on assignments at work,
and your job performance is suffering as a result;
You worry
excessively, expect the worst, or are constantly on edge;
Your
actions are harmful to yourself or to others. For instance, you
are drinking too much alcohol, abusing drugs, or becoming overly
argumentative and aggressive (Higgins, 1998).
If you are looking for a therapist, it is imperative at all times
to remember you are a consumer seeking a service so you can then
proceed in an informed and intelligent manner (Consumer Reports,
1999).
