Psychological Self-help Materials
Tips for Anxiety, Depression, Sleep problems, Disagreements, and
Increasing Altruism By: Andrew Sappington,
Ph.D.
Self-help materials work best when you
feel that you are basically functioning okay but would like to
function better. If you have problems that are significantly
interfering with your life, and especially if you are thinking
about hurting yourself or someone else, it is better to get
professional help.
Getting help doesn't mean that you are
giving up but, on the contrary, that you are actively taking
charge of your own life. If you are already seeing a
professional, you may still find these materials helpful. I
would recommend showing them to your therapist or psychiatrist
before you use them to make sure the suggestions don't conflict
with the therapist's program.
