HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE ANY MENTAL ILLNESS?

These are some of the symptoms you may have if you suffer any mental illness. They include:

• Sleep or appetite changes
• Rapid or dramatic shifts in emotions or depressed feelings
• Social withdrawal and loss of interest in activities which you had previously enjoyed
• Decrease in concentration at school and work, failing in school or difficulty in performing familiar tasks
• Increased sensitivity to sights, sounds, smells or touch
• Loss of desire to participate in any activity
• A feeling of detachment from oneself or one’s surroundings
• Illogical thinking or “magical” thinking typical of childhood in an adult that cannot be explained
• A strong feeling of fear, suspiciousness of others or nervousness
• Unusual behaviour or peculiar behaviour
