  • Persistent feelings of dissatisfaction

  • Problems with a child's behaviour and/or grades

  • Unexplainable fatigue or difficulty in sleeping

  • Sexual problems or concerns

  • Difficulties in talking with your spouse, family members, friends or co-workers

  • Feelings of loneliness, moodiness, depression, sadness, failure, stress, or anxiety

  •  Problems with alcohol or drugs

  • A need for tranquilizers, energizers, or sleeping aids

  • Frequent financial difficulties

  • Difficulty in setting or reaching goals

  • Family stress due to chronic illness

  •  Illness in which stress plays a major role

  •  Drastic weight fluctuations, or irregular eating patterns
