Constant Anxiety
  • It is true that we all feel anxious sometimes.
    However, if a person seems to be anxious all the
    time, there is definitely something wrong.

4
Frequent Emotional Outbursts
  • People with mental disorders often experience
    extreme mood swings. Dramatic mood changes which
    results in switching from extreme sadness to
    extreme anger in a short while, is a major
    symptoms of mental illness.

5
Insomnia
  • A normal person generally requires 8 to 9 hours
    of sleep. If you notice a persistent change in
    the sleeping pattern, it could be a sign of
    mental illness. Sleeping too little or insomnia
    is a sure shot sign of depression.

6
Acting Aloof and Withdrawn
  • Everyone needs a little alone time occasionally.
    However, if you notice someone completely
    withdraw from the daily activities of life and
    avoid all types of social contact, it is a sign
    of mental illness.

7
Illogical Thinking
  • Unusual or exaggerated beliefs about personal
    powers or illogical ways of understanding or
    influencing events. Also, illogical fantasies
    such as seeing ghosts and aliens or magical
    thinking are characteristics of a metal disorder.

Conclusion
  • If you have been noticing the above symptoms in a
    friend or a loved one, you must urge them to seek
    treatment from a psychiatrist, available on
    platforms such as Apollo Edoc, as soon as
    possible. With medication and counselling all
    types of mental disorders can be cured completely.
