Anxiety disorders: when is the time to go to a psychologist?
In the conditions of the 112 Service, specialists often face challenges related to their psychological state.
Contacting a psychologist becomes necessary if anxiety begins to affect daily life — work, relationships, well-being. Specific signals to address include:
- Anxiety becomes insurmountable and persistent;
- there are obsessive thoughts or fears that prevent you from acting;
- there are frequent panic attacks;
- sleep is disrupted, concentration decreases, and performance decreases;
- somatic symptoms appear (headaches, heart pain), which are not confirmed by a medical examination.
The 112 service not only accepts emergency calls, but also often becomes the first link to help people with anxiety disorders in crisis situations. Operators are trained to identify signs of psychological stress and can send a specialist psychologist for advice or emergency assistance.
If anxiety prevents you from living a full life and causes severe stress, you should not postpone a visit to a psychologist. The 112 service works not only for medical emergencies, but also as an important support link in psychological crises.
