Severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder rarely emerge out of the blue. Instead, family, friends, teachers, co workers, or the individuals themselves start to notice that something is not quite right gradually.
Warning signs:
Problems with concentration, memory, or logical thought and speech that you haven’t experienced in the past
Heightened sensitivity to sights, sounds, or smells as well as an overwhelming feeling of avoidance of over-stimulating situations
When Should Treatment Begin?:
Seek treatment as soon as possible. There are clinics that specialize in mental health disorders around the country, testing is normally scheduled relatively quickly.
If you or someone you know is dealing with mental health, issues please seek help. I am available at darlacarmoneyllpc@gmail.com. There is help for you.
