How long should you let a mental illness grow before seeking professional assistance?
What are the signs that you need to get help?
Answer:
There are many places that will do psychiatric counseling services for little or no cost, and while others span the whole gamut of price ranges, mental health is very important (just as important as physical health.) If you think you may have problems that require the treatment of a licensed physician, do so. Better that you be engaged in prevention than treatment, and better treatment than nothing.
If you have a mental illness why would you want to wait and let it grow? Strange. You seem to be displaying signs now.
Whenever you realise that you have a mental illness. The longer you let it go, the harder it is to treat
I think that the sign that a person needs help is the fact that he or she is asking about what the signs of needing help are.
In other words, if you're wondering, it's time to seek a professional. If you do in fact need help, there's no better time to start than "immediately." (What's to be gained by letting an illness progress before treatment is engaged?) If you don't in fact need help, you'll find out from someone qualified to make that determination. Perhaps you'll be told, "Don't worry, because what you're feeling is common and you're normal."
As general theory, mental illnesses do not grow. There is, however, a kindling theory that was postulated in relation to bipolar disorder but it is not widely accepted.

The fact that you are using the term 'mental illness' already should indicate to you that you should speak to a professional. What makes you think you have a mental illness?
Do you feel depressed? If the answer is Yes, you dont neccessarily have a mental illness, everyone feels down at some stage. Speak to a doctor, discuss how you feel, you can get medication to help. There is no longer a stigma attached to it.
If you feel your 'mental illness' is something more serious, do a bit of research. Type mental illness symptoms into google and see what you come up with.
Good luck, dont let it grow.
