Why is it Important to Seek Treatment Early for Mental Health Conditions?

A young person is having their mental health evaluated.

At Saber Psychiatry, we encourage parents to seek evaluation for their children early.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), getting help for mental health conditions early can have a significant impact on the intensity and duration of treatment. Early intervention is important because many mental health conditions, like depression and anxiety, worsen over time when left untreated. NAMI encourages making simple and intentional choices to show up for the young people in our lives and doing simple things like:

  • Asking them how they’re really doing
  • Reminding them it’s OK to not be OK
  • Assuring them they are not alone
  • Helping to connect them to resources

Another way to get more involved is to consider bringing NAMI’s Ending The Silence program, which contains mental health education for middle and high school students, to a school near you. You can also advocate with your local school boards, city councils, and state legislatures to increase mental health professionals, education, and services in schools.
