Some of these signs could indicate a mental health issue – and you'll want to seek treatment, or at least a diagnosis, as soon as possible.
"Therapy can of course be helpful for folks struggling with symptoms of mental illness and (who) want help finding immediate relief from acute symptoms," says Alex Jenny, a licensed clinical social worker known as "The Drag Therapist."
You also don't need a reason to go to therapy.
"Your desire for self-development and self-growth is enough of a reason to speak to a professional," Ahrens says.
And more importantly, never feel like it's too late.
"Even if it takes you some time to decide to see a therapist, it's OK. You are where you are," Ahrens says. "It can often still be very helpful, no matter what age or stage of life you're in."
