Mental health conditions like anxiety and depression often start subtly—creeping in through daily fatigue, irritability, or loss of interest in things that once brought joy. At American Behavioral Clinics, we know that early intervention is key. Here are signs to watch for:
1. Persistent Sadness or Worry
Everyone has ups and downs, but if low moods or worry persist for more than two weeks, it may be a sign of clinical depression or anxiety.
2. Sleep Changes
Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or sleeping too much can be red flags.
3. Withdrawal from Social Activities
Losing interest in spending time with friends or avoiding social situations could indicate deeper emotional struggles.
4. Fatigue and Low Energy
If even small tasks feel exhausting, it may be time to seek help.
5. Changes in Appetite or Weight
Sudden increases or decreases in appetite or unintentional weight changes can signal emotional distress.
