Your mental well-being is a vital part of your overall well-being. Mental illness can be treated. People who have suffered from a mental illness have recovered to lead useful and productive lives. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of emotional distress, behavioral problems or thought disorders which characterize mental illness can lead to early treatment and often recovery. Warning signs include:
Difficulty coping with stress Decreased self-esteem or increased feelings of unworthiness Excessive use of alcohol, tobacco, or medication Changes in appetite, sleep patterns, or activity levels Feelings of decreased energy and fatigue Feelings of hopelessness and despair Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering Severe anxiety or unreasonable fears Irritability, mood swings, or crying episodes Confused thoughts and/or distortions of reality Suicidal or homicidal thoughts, impulses or disorders While many of the above signs and symptoms may be experienced by all of us at some point, they should be considered cause for concern if their severity or frequency significantly impact one's overall functioning. If any of the above problems are of a concern for you, see a qualified mental health professional for an in-depth assessment. To arrange for a confidential evaluation, call 1-800-342-7843, or in the Americus area call 229-931-2404. |
