Plain-language guides on stress, worry, low mood, and when anxiety or depression may call for support, from a Michigan clinical psychologist's practice.
Worry and low mood are part of being human. It can still be hard to tell when ordinary stress or a rough stretch has turned into something that deserves more attention. These guides explain how clinicians think about that difference, what tends to help, and when reaching out makes sense.
Nothing here is a test or a diagnosis. The articles describe what a psychologist looks at so you can have a more informed conversation, not so you can score yourself. If you already know you would like help, the anxiety therapy and depression therapy pages explain how Dr. Lehmann works with adults in Franklin and by telehealth across Michigan.
If you are in crisis, do not wait to read further: call or text 988, or call 911 if you are in immediate danger.
