If you broke an arm, would you go to a doctor? If you cut your leg, would you go to Accident and Emergency? Would a toothache drive you to a dentist?
Most people would probably answer Yes to those three questions. It’s a no-brainer: If you are sick, you get medical help.
Try these questions.
Do you worry about your mental health?

If you felt empty after a relationship ended, would you tell a counsellor?
If you had panic attacks about going to a job interview, would you ring a helpline?
