Many people have now started to talk about the issue and share their difficulties regarding mental health problems with others.

However, we are still somehow unable to recognise the signs of mental illness which may lead to serious consequences in the long run.

Prolonged sadness

Sometimes, you can even feel sad because of no reason but it could be temporary. However, if you are feeling sad for a long period of time and you don’t know the reason, then it can be a sign of mental illness.

Anxiety

If you are facing anxiety issues often then it is a matter of concern.

Too much sleep

If you are spending too much time alone just sleeping the whole day, then maybe you are suffering from depression or other mental disorders.

Outburst of anger

It is a warning sign of stress, anxiety or grief that you might be hiding from everyone for a long time.

Hallucinations

You may hallucinate about things and it could be a sign of mental disorders such as schizophrenia. However, if detected on time, the impact can be minimised and you can live a normal life.
