We have provided extra explanation for some of these symptoms, so you can click on the colored symptoms in the above list. We will try to provide an English translation for these pages as soon as possible. You might feel that your symptoms are not severe enough to contact a psychologist. Your symptoms are your own personal experience, and your truth, so there is no need to compare yourself with other people or problems. If you feel like you can't get through your problems or symptoms by yourself then it can help to reach out to a psychologist.
