It can be confusing to decide if you or someone you care about has a psychological problem. It can be even more confusing to decide what the problem is and what to do about it to improve health.
I hope that you find the articles and other resources contained in the following web sites to be helpful. However, you do so at your own risk. It is assumed that access indemnifies Dr. Croft of Croft & Associates: PsycHealth Solutions Ltd. from any and all injury or damages arising from such use.
I have included a suggested reading list below, which you can review for your own interest.
I have also provided links to reputable internet sites for your review, but you should keep in mind that any reporting of | self-help resources on the world wide web may contain errors or be incomplete in some respects.
It can only be considered to apply as general guidance to the general population and not necessarily to you specifically by way of an individual treatment plan.
Most importantly, information about coping and fostering change should not be confused with ultimate advice, i.e., the opinion or recommendation of a professional with due consideration of the facts/needs of one's particular circumstances. These resources are intended to help you make informed decisions about the use of psychological services and knowledge, but those decisions should always be made in consultation with your professional psychologist and your doctor. |
Self-help is useful; however, it is not a substitute for professional advise. Emotional and behavioural problems can be debilitating and dangerous. Please seek professional help: if you have thoughts of killing yourself or harming others if you feel depressed, anxious or afraid if you are often very negative or critical of yourself or you experience this from others if you are abusing substances and/or if you experience impairments in your thinking or interpersonal relationships.
