How do you know when you need therapy?


Question:
I lack motivation for almost everything, am I just a lazy bum or is there something deeper that I should be seeking therapy for?

Answers:
Usually with depression you lose interest in things you once enjoyed doing. You may just be depressed. I know when I'm depressed I don't want to do anything but lay around and I really don't feel like doing that! I would seek something maybe therapy or talk to your doctor. You may need antidepressants.

Other Answers:
I think you just answered your own question. If you ask, you prolly do.
I agree.if you ask the question it probably wouldn't hurt to see a therapist.
ASk yourself why do you get up every morning, what are your desires,goals,hopes ? If you cant find a meaning to any of these then chances are you might want to consider it. Therapy doesnt mean you have to be in a stray jacket,foaming at the mouth,repeating all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Therapy is to help you find out what is obstructing you from living a normal life wether its mental or emotional and overcome it.
You go when you or your family cant take it anymore
If you ask you do need therapy.you answered your own question..good luck.

feeling sad most of the time?

If any or most of this applies, then you may be depressed.
