People often have this question in mind due to misalignment in their thoughts.

So here in this article, we will discuss 5 very common signs through which you can know whether you are suffering from any mental illness or not.

1) Emotional instability

Emotions play a very vital role in mental stability.

If you are unwanted or unnecessary anger, fear or cry, irritate, feeling sad without any reason, that indicates some issues with it.

It may be a sign of mental illness.

2) Sleep issues

If you are experiencing daily sleep issues, you must consider or find out the reasons behind them.

Having a disrupted sleep pattern, fewer sleep hours, or no sleep for days can worsen your mental condition.

It is a vital sign of mental illness.

3) Appetite change

Having mental illness disturbs the physical system also.

It may change the appetite to either low or high intake.

If you are having less appetite or high appetite without any other biological or medical reason then it is a clear sign of mental illness.

4) Loss of interest in daily activities

If you are losing interest in daily activities or facing problems maintaining your routine or tasks without any physical reason, it might indicate a mental illness.

5) Hesitate to socialize

We all are human beings living in society.

So socializing helps us maintain our normal life.

If you are withdrawing from societal events or hesitating to meet people or developing fears or anxiety to face people, then it is not a good sign for your mental health.

Final thoughts…

Having these signs always may not be a sign of mental illness.

But if you have more than one sign for a longer period means more than one month, then you must ask for professional help without any further delay.
