Low Self Esteem Issues
A person with low self esteem has a low regard for themselves, which can manifest itself in traits such as indecision, hypersensitivity to criticism, and guilt. Whilst low self-esteem does not make up a condition alone, in combination with other symptoms it can point to conditions including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders.
Our AMP Mental Health Providers located in Miami, FL are dedicated to helping all patients with low self-esteem. Because this issue so regularly takes hold in younger demographics, our providers Sandra Calzadilla and Carolina Kaack would likely be best suited to treat the symptoms of low self esteem.
SYMPTOMS
Signs of low self-esteem include:
- saying negative things and being critical about yourself
- joking about yourself in a negative way
- focusing on your negatives and ignoring your achievements
- blaming yourself when things go wrong
- thinking other people are better than you
- thinking you don’t deserve to have fun
- not accepting compliments
- avoiding challenges for fear of failing
- being overly upset by disapproval or criticism
- feeling sad, depressed, anxious, ashamed, angry or worthless
TREATMENT
Talk therapy: the best treatment for low self-esteem usually involves talk therapy at the forefront. This would include work to help the patient recognize what they are good at, build new relationships, be kind to themselves, and learning assertiveness.
Medication: because low self-esteem so regularly accompanies other conditions like anxiety and depression, medications to treat each may be part of your treatment plan.
