Is Seeking Psychiatric Help
As the society develops， it is becoming more and more competitive． No wonder that the adults and the children are under great pressure． And unfortunately many people have mental problems． However， few of them voluntarily seek psychiatric help， for it is widely regarded as a sign of weakness． As far as I am concerned， people should develop the new idea that seeking psychiatric help is a normal need and that a person should seek help from a doctor if he is ill， whether mentally or physically．
To start with， the mental problem is common among people in the modern society． With the increasingly faster pace of life， competition in the society becomes fierce， and relationships between people are intensified． The science and technology is developing， which means we should keep learning and keep up with the progress of knowledge． Most adults are suffering from the employment pressure． And students commonly feel depressed and worried about their academic study and the relationship with their friends． So it is clear that psychological or emotional problems are common in our life． It’s just like we feel uncomfortable when we get a cold or a cough． So seeking psychiatric help is nothing special． It will help people to be healthy．What’s more， seeking psychiatric help is not a sign of weakness．
On the contrary， it shows you are brave enough to face the problem and solve it． Some people think that only insane patients go to see the psychiatrist． They are afraid of being seen as abnormal． And they don’t understand how the psychiatrists can help， what will happen during the therapy and so on． So they prefer to keep it as a secret when they have psychologic problems， which will make things worse． We should not hide our sickness for fear of treatment． We should abandon the prejudice against mental problems． In fact， seeking psychiatric help means a person have the courage to face the problem． It is never a sign of weakness． It is a way for us to strive to gain health．
To sum up， seeking psychiatric help is not a sign of weakness or insanity． It is important for people to accept the new idea that it is a normal need， and that everyone who faces himself bravely should be respected．
