In Kenya and around the world, many people still struggle to talk openly about mental health. We often hear “just be strong” or “you’ll be fine.” But mental health is just as important as physical health. If you can visit a doctor for a fever, you can also see a mental health professional when your emotions or thoughts start to feel overwhelming. Seeking help doesn’t make you weak. It’s a sign of self-awareness and strength.

Signs It Might Be Time to Seek Help

You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable. Professional support can help you manage challenges early.

Here are some signs you might benefit from talking to a counselor or psychiatrist:

* Persistent sadness, anxiety, or irritability

* Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

* Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed

* Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

* Feeling hopeless, worthless, or overwhelmed

* Using alcohol or substances to cope

* Relationship or work difficulties caused by emotional distress

If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to reach out for help, and that’s completely okay.
