Usually in the first session, a therapist will look at your sleeping habits. It is a major indicator of issues.
Whether it is stress, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, OCD, or any other mental disorders, If this meme applies to you, I suggest you talk to a therapist. Now a days, you can do sessions all online.
Therapist: So it sounds like you're tired all the time.
Me: yes.
Therapist: Are you sleeping well?
Me: No. But when I manage to sleep well for a few nights in a row, I feel amazing.
Therapist: Well it sounds like sleeping better would help a lot. Why don't you tell me about your sleep routine?
Me: Well, I usually go to bed late, and then spend several hours staring at my phone until my eyes are itchy and I feel like I'm about to pass out.
Therapist: Oh. You shouldn't do that.
Me: I know.
Therapist: You should skip the part where you stare at your phone for hours.
Me: I know.
Therapist: Okay, well our time is up. That'll be $5000.
I wake up at three am and sit with my eyes closed until my alarm at 5:15. What do doc?
I wish. Germany usually has a combination of "bad internet", "tech illiteracy" and "no appointments in the next 2-4 years" .
That's fair.
I looked up Internet speed by country expecting to see Germany be in the top 25, because of their incredible engineering, then I see them at 56. That is shocking to me.
Incredible engineering? Germany? Have you ever owned a German car? Over-engineered unreliable expensive POC.
I have never owned a German car. I find the idea that something is over engineered and unreliable together funny.
To sum it up in a meme, over engineered vs simple and reliable
Edit: fixed formatting
Over-engineering is dedicating a team of specialists to shaving off every last piece of material from a pneumatic hose, justified with endless computer simulations based on unrealistic assumptions like constant temperature throughout the year, then wondering why the hoses fail in less than a year in the real world. "But the simulation". "But the data". "But the theory". "The real world is a statistical fluke". That's over-engineering.
Canada and Germany are so alike sometimes...
Very good advice. Actual, trained and licensed therapists can help everyone at some point. Unfortunately, the majority are severely overworked and underpaid, so finding a good therapist that has experience or familiarity with your particular circumstances may take time.
That is very true. Especially since more and more people are putting their mental health as a priority. This is a good thing but this also means a lot less time for new patients.
you missed the actual main one we use sleep habits to screen for: bipolar disorder!
You are right.
I even though I know people close to me diagnosed with bipolar, I don't really know much about it.
I am going to guess sleep also indicates whether medication isn't working anymore.
