When to see a mental health professional? before being fully depressed?

Best early than late: When you notice that you're not feeling well emotionally, is a good time to see a mental health professional. When there is difficulty sleeping or staying asleep; anxiety that seems out of proportion to things going on; feelings of intense sadness and even suicidality; change in energy, appetite, and interest -- all would be indicators of something amiss that needs help. Better early than late!
