They know things are not good, but do not have a guide to measure when it is time to seek a professional. When depression or anxiety are making it difficult to continue daily activities, it is time! When these feelings cause us difficulty at work, with family members, or our usual level of life enjoyment -- it is time. When we eat more or less, sleep more or less, all of these signal that things are a "storm" and not a little bit of life's "rain." I get questions all of the time about whether one should go to see a physician because they are not sleeping, etc. Usually that person is absolutely in need of an appointment. There is no shame in seeking help, and there is so much help available. The TMS treatment is just one example of how new tools to rebuild after "life storms" are progressing every day.
