It can be difficult for individuals to determine if they have a mental illness and the only way to know for sure is to receive a diagnosis from a mental health professional. However, there are a myriad of warning signs to look out for that may be indicative of mental illness.
There are a wide range of mental illnesses and symptoms as well as warning signs varying drastically accordingly. Moreover, many of the most common mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety, may exhibit symptoms that are difficult to distinguish from expected day-to-day highs and lows in your mood.
For instance, it is expected to feel anxious or down from time to time however when these feelings present in the extreme or persist it may be indicative of mental illness.
There is a wide range of mental health problems, each presenting in a unique fashion with different symptoms. Mental health issues can range from mild to debilitating and they can give as acute incidents or develop chronically lasting for months or even years at a time.
Among the main groupings of mental health problems are mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, trauma-related disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse disorders.
Within these categories are subcategories of mental health conditions all of which are distinct but share the ability to affect mood, thoughts, or behavior. Many types of mental health problems can seriously impact an individual’s day-to-day life from their ability to work, establish healthy relationships, and handle tasks.
Mental health is a broad term that encompasses psychological, emotional, and social well-being. Mental health is highly influential in determining how an individual feels, acts, and thinks. Mental health can affect and be affected by varying factors in an individual’s life including their relationships, habits, and more.
Additionally, while mental health focuses on the health of the mind it is not entirely distinct from physical health as the two influence one another. When an individual’s physical health suffers from something as simple as poor health habits or lack of exercise to something as complex as a chronic disease this can have adverse impacts on mental health.
When an individual has good mental health, it does not mean they are free of stress or happy all the time, instead, it means they are better equipped to cope with these external stressors and prevent themselves from spiraling than those suffering from poor mental health. While many think of mental health problems in terms of individuals with chronic mental illness, they do not stop there. Even individuals who have not been diagnosed with a mental illness but who feel their mental wellness is suffering can stand to benefit from seeing a mental health specialist at Gold Counseling.
Caring for your mental health is more than just managing mental illness, it can help individuals become better equipped to navigate life’s stressors and live life to the fullest.
The signs associated with mental health problems are as varied as the potential issues themselves. However, most symptoms will reflect changes in mood, behavior, and thoughts. When an individual begins noticing drastic changes in any of those respects it may be indicative of mental illness.
Feelings of persistent sadness, disproportionate or ongoing feelings of anxiety, weight fluctuations, and isolative behavior are a few signs of common mental disorders. These may be accompanied by trouble sleeping, fatigue, struggles with daily tasks or commitments, and more. While the signs vary significantly, any ongoing or drastic change in mood, behavior, or thoughts is cause to seek out mental health support.
