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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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” .
Canada and Germany are so alike sometimes…
That’s fair.

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
