Mental health is a crucial part of our overall wellbeing, yet so many people struggle in silence for years before reaching out for support. According to Beyond Blue’s 2024 Mental Health and Wellbeing Check (Beyond Blue, 2024), some individuals wait up to ten years before seeking help. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck, I want you to know that help is available—and you don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable.
Why Do People Delay Seeking Help?
Research shows that many people hesitate to seek mental health support due to factors like:
- Long waitlists and difficulty accessing professional help (AIHW, 2023)
- Financial concerns (ABS, 2023)
- Feeling like their problems “aren’t serious enough” (Beyond Blue, 2024)
- Shame or stigma surrounding mental health challenges (Black Dog Institute, 2023)
However, delaying support can make things harder in the long run. Mental health concerns, like anxiety, depression, or trauma, are easier to manage when addressed early. You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis—small steps toward healing can start today.
