Recognizing When You Need Mental Health Support

It’s important to remember that everyone experiences ups and downs, but sometimes those lows can be signs that you might need additional support. Here are some common indicators:

Changes in Mood or Behavior

  • Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
  • Excessive worry or anxiety
  • Extreme mood swings
  • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
  • Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

Challenges in Daily Life

  • Withdrawal from social interactions
  • Neglect of personal hygiene or responsibilities
  • Increased irritability or anger
  • Difficulty maintaining relationships
  • Problems at work or school

Physical Symptoms

  • Chronic pain
  • Frequent headaches or stomach aches
  • Changes in energy levels
  • Weakened immune system

If you’re experiencing several of these symptoms and they’re significantly impacting your daily life, it’s a good idea to seek professional help.

Remember, it’s okay to ask for help. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
