According to data, 90% of the public thinks that there is a mental health crisis. And they’re right.

The world has become so fast-paced that we are constantly required to process a million different pieces of information all at once.

On top of this, work responsibilities, relationship issues, academic stress, and neurodivergent conditions like ADHD make it hard to take care of our emotional wellness.

Most of us have increased our pace in our work to keep up with the world. If we’re speeding up all other aspects of our lives, we should also focus on making mental health care just as accessible and ready at hand.

One way to do so is by seeking same-day appointments with psychologists in Australia. Hence, this article discusses when to seek help, the importance of same-day bookings, and how to get started at TYHO.

Who Are Psychologists, and How Can They Help?

Psychologists are mental health professionals who use clinical approaches to:

Improve a client’s mental health

Teach scientific tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues

Provide assessments and diagnoses based on a client’s presenting problems

Provide long-term support for overall psychological development

At TYHO, psychologists and other professionals are collectively referred to as ‘Therapists’.

We have a large pool of professionals who are also equipped with the skills to diagnose mental health conditions; these professionals are known as clinical psychologists.

Some of the other types of psychologists are:

Counselling psychologists – helping people to cope with daily stressors

Health psychologists – focusing on the biological, psychological, and social aspects of a person’s development

Neuropsychologists – focusing on the relationship between cognitive functions and behaviour

Note: Psychologists are different from psychiatrists. On the one hand, psychologists can diagnose and provide therapeutic interventions, but they cannot prescribe medication. On the other hand, psychiatrists are medical doctors who are qualified to prescribe medications to manage the physical symptoms of a mental illness.

Research shows that taking medication as the primary treatment may not help as much as opting for a combination of medication and psychotherapeutic intervention.

How Can Psychologists Help?

In-person and online psychologists have the relevant qualifications to:

Help people manage their emotions and thought processes

Evaluate and understand how a person’s feelings result in their behaviour

Help people overcome maladaptive behaviours

Diagnose disorders

Develop personalised therapeutic plans

Use approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy

Psychologists may work in diverse settings, including but not limited to:

Private hospitals

Platforms like TYHO

Nursing homes

Rehabilitation centers

Prisons

Schools and universities

When Should You Consider Talking to a Psychologist?

There is no right or wrong reason to seek help, and no problem is ‘too small’ or ‘too big’.

Psychologists are trained to understand that clients come with diverse needs and preferences. For example, you can talk to a psychologist in Perth if you struggle with low self-esteem or lack confidence. At the same time, you can also seek support for issues like post-traumatic stress, personality disorders, or clinical depression.

Any time your lifestyle isn’t what you want it to be, you can seek help.

Below are some points that may help you recognise if you need support:

You have thoughts or feelings that make you feel uncomfortable, upset, and confused

You feel stressed, have a sense of doom every morning, and find it difficult to look forward to the day

You struggle to communicate openly and without arguments

You are worried about your sleeping, eating, and lifestyle habits

You have a strained relationship with your mom or dad

You’re struggling to process the death of a loved one, grief due to a job loss, or other stressors at work

Your use of alcohol is interfering with your health and performance at school/work

You simply need someone to talk to and constantly feel invalidated by others

You feel hopeless about living

Why Same-Day Psychologist Care Matters for Your Mental Health

The weight of your mental health challenges can feel overwhelming.

For some people, waiting for a week or even months can lead to frustration, and they may eventually give up on the idea of seeking support.

Sometimes, delayed waiting times may not be viable for someone who needs urgent care.

Same-day booking ensures that you can prevent your problems before they worsen and make a meaningful impact on your life.

Let’s look at the 5 benefits of same-day psychologist care.

1) No Waitlists

In traditional mental health care or via hospitals, the average wait time can be up to a couple of weeks or months.

The lack of consistency during such cases may also have a negative impact on the treatment.

For example, if a professional advises you to track your mood swings and hopes to revisit the therapeutic plan in a week’s time, not being able to book a slot at the right time can lead to inconsistencies in the session.

Same-day booking, however, can help you seek an intervention at the right time.

2) Reducing Delays in Getting Urgent Care

Quick access to psychological care eliminates the frustration and lack of hope during the therapeutic journey.

For some people, seeing their psychologist every week or so can be a great way to stick to sessions and see progress. Research shows that maintaining continuity in sessions can lead to positive therapy outcomes.

Consider this example: You have an important interview next month and would like to explore short-term strategies with your psychologist to improve your confidence.

In this case, waiting until the last minute to book a session may not be wise. After all, you do need time after the session to implement what you learned. By booking a same-day session at TYHO, you can make decisions quickly and seek support at the same pace.

3) Faster Diagnosis

The idea is simple: The sooner you are diagnosed, the sooner you can start working on the process of healing.

If you realise today that you would like to talk to a psychologist, it’s often best to take proactive action to make that happen.

While the diagnosis process may not happen in one day, it can still give you a heads-up. Feeling like you’ve already started working on your mental health can lead to motivation and positive feelings towards therapy.

Do note that a diagnosis is not always required for every client. Whether you are diagnosed with a condition may depend on:

The psychologist’s recommendations and insights

Your presenting problems

The intensity and duration of your issues

The effect your issues may have on various aspects of your life

4) Preventing Crisis

We all agree that prevention is better than a cure, don’t we? Although we don’t use the word ‘cure’ for mental health issues, the prevention part of the quote still stands true.

Research shows the increasing need to develop preventative techniques as the primary intervention in treating psychological distress.

The brain often learns information from our very early experiences from childhood. For example, a person who has social anxiety may have had a poor experience at a birthday party or a social situation when they were young.

‘Poor experience’ can range from ignoring to bullying. No matter how small, any negative experience may teach our brains to avoid similar situations. It’s just the way our brains protect us.

However, as we grow older, we may be required to be present in social situations like the workplace or family gatherings. It’s important to break the patterns the brain had previously learned to cope with it.

This is where preventative care comes in. Before you reinforce the same negative patterns over and over in your brain, talking to a psychologist at an early stage can help prevent the condition from worsening.

5) Improved Outcomes with Immediate Support

Immediate support through same-day bookings can improve your access to quality mental health support, thereby resulting in better therapy outcomes.

For example, at TYHO, you can book a same-day online session with a psychologist in Adelaide. After a couple of sessions, you can also choose to book a same-day in-person session with the same professional.

Some people may not prefer to have a strict schedule of sessions. For these people, booking a psychologist’s appointment as and when they require it can be a great way to improve their mental health.
