7 Warning Signs Of A Mental Illness

Are you worried about someone who might be suffering from a mental illness? Or perhaps you’re worried about your mental health? Major mental illnesses such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder rarely appear “out of the blue.” Most often people recognize that something’s not quite right about one’s thinking, feelings, or behavior before one of these illnesses appears in its full-blown form. Being informed about developing symptoms, or early warning signs can lead to intervention that can help reduce the severity of an illness. It may even be possible to delay or prevent a major mental illness altogether. So to help you with that, here are a few common warning signs of a mental illness.

Im so grateful im apart of a generation that actually talks about things like this. You guys have no idea how many people you’re helping. Thank you ❤

[joshuadelossantos]

As a Filipino, it's hard to tell others or your parents on what your going through, because one's you tell them they just only say "don't think about it" or "your just being dramatic". It hurts when your own parents just brush off on what you're feeling, and your just going to deal with it on your own.

And yeah some of the sign that been mentioned in the video is what im having for the past 4 years.

(Sorry if my english is kinda mess up im still learning)

[richardbradley]

I am glad you are talking about these subjects, Isolation is a killer, literally, I was actually suicidal once due to severe reactive depression.

A reminder that just because others don't care doesn't mean that you don't matter. We're here you you, okay?

[hedgedoge]

I love how you guys post signs of negative things as well, not just "top 10 signs you're more attractive than you think" and stuff!

[gAmr_GuRl]

I can relate to #1.

Btw, it’s amazing how you upload every day. Every day, people request more ideas and videos for you to cover. However, don’t rush and take breaks if you want to! :)

[nanatwinny]

I have all these and have anxiety disorder especially me dropping grades in school. But of course we keep fighting against the odds don't we. ❣️

[kenrickbautista]

Yeah, I clearly have a mental illness. Some of these signs mentioned I can personally relate.

[rickys]

Thank God I'm on the up just dropped in to help boost the channel. Thanks you and your team for endlessly helping other

[carlamariecadizon]

I cant concentrate much, and a bit of memory loss and forgetfulness. Good thing my cats and my family are here to help each other in these hard times. I also have mood swings though i mostly attribute it to my monthly periods.

very very nice video as well!

[Sample_Gaming]

Every time I watch these videos I'm like "I should see a therapist" and then I remember I'm a minor and need parental consent and then I just watch funny cat videos until I feel better because I'm too unconfident to talk to my parents about it 👍

Edit: thank you all so much for replying and helping me out. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful day, and I am getting help now. Not from a professional, but just talking to people about it is so much better.

[FryGuy]

I learned so much! Always love tuning in and listening.

[azezo]

A "How to overcome all these mental illnesses" might actually be nice😊

[vizuren]

I remember back in my anxiety relapse phase, a few months ago, I would have these mood swings where I would be from 0 to 100. I also use to feel like the world was just an illusion that I was creating in my brain.
