Healing begins when you choose to take care of yourself and begin to self-love
Mental health is as important as your physical health and should be your top most priority to look out for yourself and your loved ones. Globally, about 1 in 8 people face mental health issues. Recognizing early warning signs and acting quickly can lead to better outcomes. Support from family and professional help can lessen the impact of these conditions. This article discusses the importance of spotting warning signs, what to look for, and how professional help plays a role in mental health care.
Early Warning Signs of Mental Health Issues
Here are key emotional, cognitive, and behavioral signs that may indicate the start of mental health issues.
1) Excessive Worrying or Fear
Unmanageable anxiety about daily matters is a key feature of generalized anxiety disorder. Individuals with this condition often have ongoing worries about ordinary life events and find it difficult to manage their anxiety. Additionally, irrational fears about certain objects, places, situations, or events may indicate a phobia. Such phobias trigger intense fear and avoidance when confronted with the feared source, even if the fear is not based on logic.
2) Mood Changes
Persistent feelings of sadness, irritability, anger outbursts, or apathy lasting for weeks may indicate depression. This condition is characterized by ongoing low moods, a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed, and decreased energy. Rapid shifts in mood, swinging from very high to very low, can be a sign of bipolar disorder. This disorder involves alternating episodes of mania and depression, with manic phases often marked by increased activity, euphoria, or impulsive behavior.
3) Withdrawing from Others
Disinterest in social activities and withdrawal from relationships may indicate underlying mental health issues such as isolation from loved ones and previously enjoyed hobbies.
4) Difficulty Concentrating
Challenges with focus, lack of motivation, and forgetfulness can arise from stress, anxiety, or depression, making it difficult to complete tasks or make decisions.
5) Disrupted Sleep Patterns
Insomnia or excessive sleeping can interfere with healthy circadian rhythms, negatively impacting mental health. Many mental health issues are associated with challenges in falling asleep, staying asleep, or oversleeping.
6) Changes in Eating Habits
Eating too little or too much regularly can come from or make mental health problems worse. Certain conditions like bulimia, anorexia, and binge eating causes a person to experience changes in appetite leading to eating less or more.
7) Low Self-Esteem
Feeling worthless, guilty, or helpless for a long time may indicate depression or anxiety. People often criticize themselves and feel inadequate during these times.
8) Self-Harming Behavior
Mental health issues that are not treated on time may lead to self-injury, like cutting or burning. It's an unhealthy way to cope with strong emotions.
9) Substance Abuse
Drinking more alcohol, using drugs, or taking more medication to cope can indicate deeper problems. This behavior is often a way to try to numb difficult feelings.
10) Suicidal Thoughts
A person requires immediate help if having thoughts about self-harm, death, or suicide.
Addressing a Mental Health Crisis
When a loved one is in a mental health crisis, your response can significantly affect their situation. It's very important to deal with understanding and empathy. Timely and appropriate responses can prevent escalation and aid in recovery.
1) Practice Patience and Understanding
It's crucial to understand that individuals in a mental health crisis may struggle with their thoughts and behaviors. Approaching them with patience, empathy, and understanding is essential. Offer support and reassurance without judgment, and practice attentive listening to respond appropriately to their needs.
2) Offer Immediate Support
If a loved one shows signs of a mental health crisis, it's important to act fast by encouraging them to get professional help and comforting them as well. Remove any triggers and make sure they are safe. Acting quickly is crucial, as delays can be dangerous. The sooner they get support, the better their chances of recovering.
3) Pursue Professional Assistance
Encouraging a loved one to get professional help during a mental health crisis is very important. Therapy or counseling can provide the support and coping strategies they need. Talking about the benefits and helping them find a good mental health professional can greatly aid their recovery.
Conclusion
Mental health risks can get worse quickly without timely help. It's important to notice emotional, thinking, and behavior signs and seek professional help right away. Addressing these early warning signs can help with diagnosis, ease symptoms, encourage healthy coping, and improve overall well-being. Make mental health a priority for yourself and your loved ones by acting fast as the cause can be reversible and can be dealt with the right support and care.

Heallift and all other parties involved in the creation, production, or delivery of the Services, Products, or Content shall not be held responsible for any incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages. These damages include but are not limited to, lost profits, loss of data or goodwill, service interruption, computer damage, system failure, or the cost of substitute Services or Products. These damages may arise from or be connected to these terms or the utilization or inability to utilize the Services, Products, or Content. This applies regardless of whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability, or any other legal theory. Even if Heallift has been made aware of the possibility of such damage if a limited remedy mentioned here is determined to have failed its fundamental purpose. Please note that certain jurisdictions may not permit the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, hence the aforementioned limitation may not be applicable to you.
Both you and Heallift agree that any disputes, claims, or controversies (referred to as "Disputes") arising from or relating to these Terms, the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, or use of the Services, Products, or Content, will be resolved through binding arbitration. However, each party retains the following rights:
If you fail to submit an Arbitration Opt-out Notice to Heallift within thirty (30) days, it will be assumed that you have willingly and knowingly given up your right to resolve any dispute through litigation, except as specifically mentioned in clauses (i) and (ii) above. Unless you provide Heallift with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the specified time frame, you acknowledge and agree that both you and Heallift are renouncing the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or member of a class action or representative proceeding. Furthermore, unless you and Heallift reach a separate written agreement, the arbitrator is not allowed to combine multiple individuals' claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this particular paragraph is deemed unenforceable, the entire "Dispute Resolution" section will be considered null and void. However, this "Dispute Resolution" section will remain in effect following the termination of these Terms, except as stated in the previous sentence.
The arbitrator will issue a decision within the specified timeframe, which will encompass the essential findings and conclusions forming the basis for the award. The judgment regarding the arbitration award can be enforced in any court with the appropriate jurisdiction. The awarded damages by the arbitrator must align with the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable, as outlined in the "Limitation of Liability" section above. Declaratory or injunctive relief may only be granted by the arbitrator in favor of the claimant and to the extent necessary to address the claimant's individual claim. If you succeed in arbitration, you will be entitled to receive attorneys' fees and expenses, as permitted by applicable law. Heallift will not pursue and hereby relinquishes its rights under applicable law to recover attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
You are responsible for paying any filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees.
Despite the stipulations in the "Modification" section above, if Heallift makes changes to this "Dispute Resolution" section after you initially accepted these Terms (or accepted subsequent changes), you have the option to reject such changes by providing written notice within 30 days of the effective date of the change, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date above or Heallift's email notifying you of the change (you may send the notice to feedback@heallift.com). By rejecting any change, you agree to arbitrate any dispute between you and Heallift in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
These Terms supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Heallift and you regarding the Services, Products, and Content, and they represent the entire and only understanding and agreement between Heallift and you with regard to those topics. The other provisions of these Terms will still be in full force and effect if any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable (by a court with appropriate jurisdiction or by an arbitrator selected in accordance with the terms of the "Arbitration" section above, but only if you timely withdraw from arbitration by sending us an Arbitration Opt-out Notice in accordance with the terms stated above).
These Terms cannot be assigned or transferred without Heallift's prior written consent, whether through legal means or otherwise. If you attempt to assign or transfer these Terms without obtaining such consent, your action will be considered void and have no legal effect. However, Heallift has the freedom to assign or transfer these Terms without any restrictions. Except for the aforementioned conditions, these Terms will remain binding and beneficial to the parties involved, as well as their successors and permitted assigns.
Heallift will provide any notices or other communications related to these Terms, including those regarding modifications, in the following ways:
Heallift’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Heallift. Except as expressly outlined in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
