As soon as your attention has been drawn to this question, it means that one of the following situations probably applies to you: **A)** You have noticed a psychological issue or problem in yourself for some time, but you doubt about going to a psychologist or a psychological office. **b)** You are a far-sighted and cautious person and you like to prevent problems or psychological disorders before they occur, or if such problems occur, recognize them quickly and go to a psychologist. **c)** You are a student or graduate of psychology and you are interested in studying psychology. In any case, reading the rest of this article can be useful for you. **Let's go back to the important initial question:** How to know when it's time to see a psychologist? And now the answer: **Whenever a physical, psychological or social (interpersonal) change occurs in a person that is difficult to accept and makes life difficult for him for a while, he should consult a psychologist.** Now you may ask what changes are desired. These changes can be placed in three general categories: **A) physical changes** From changes in appetite and energy to changes in appearance, from short-term illnesses to chronic illnesses, all include these types of changes. It is important that despite receiving medical treatment, it is difficult for the person to accept these changes or adapt to them. **b) psychological changes** This category includes three separate but related sections: **- emotional changes,** either in the quality of emotions (for example, not being happy with jokes or memories that have always been happy for a person); whether in the quantity of emotions (for example, being too happy or too sad); And what about inappropriate displacement of emotions (for example, sudden and unreasonable displacement of sadness and happiness or hatred and love). **- cognitive changes**, whether in the quality of thoughts (for example, an influx of unpleasant thoughts); whether in the quantity of thoughts (for example, the experience of many related or unrelated thoughts); What about the believability of thoughts (for example, believing that thinking about a person's death will cause him to die); And what about other similar cases. **- Behavioral changes**, whether in verbal behavior (e.g. talkative or talkative or speaking strange words); And what about non-verbal behaviors (for example, body posture or walking style or level of mobility). **c) social changes** any changes in the surrounding people, including the addition of a new person to the circle of family, friends and colleagues; loss of an important person; Changing the type of communication with an important person; and other similar cases. Two important points: **Point one:** Sometimes a physical, psychological or social characteristic has been present in a person from the beginning, so at first glance it seems that no change has occurred, but in fact what has changed is the approach of the person or those around him to this characteristic. For example, consider a person who has a different appearance from his peers and has never had a problem with this, but because someone recently asked him why he is not like other members of his family; For several days and nights, he does not have the comfort of the past because a voice from inside tells him: "Ugly!" This means a cognitive change to a fixed physical characteristic. **Point two:** The anticipation of change, not only as much as the change itself, but even more than that, can cause symptoms of psychological disorders. **Summary:** According to what has been said, you can get the time to refer to a psychologist. In other words, if a person notices an unusual change in his physical, mental or social aspects that is difficult for him to bear, the best and perhaps the wisest way is to go to the nearest psychologist or psychological office.
