Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness.
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities.
Changes in appetite or weight.
Sleep disturbances
Fatigue or loss of energy.
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt.
Difficulty concentrating.
Thoughts of death or suicide.
It's essential to understand that depression can affect individuals differently, and not everyone will experience the same symptoms.
If you suspect that someone is dealing with depression, it's important to approach the situation with compassion and encourage them to seek professional help or support from mental health resources.

constant worrying
restlessness
trouble concentrating
irritability
muscle tension
sleep disturbances
increased heart rate
sweating
trembling
stomach issues
It's important to note that each person's experience with anxiety can be unique, so it's essential to consider the individual's overall behavior and patterns. If you suspect someone may be dealing with anxiety, it's crucial to approach the situation with empathy and understanding, and encourage them to seek professional help if necessary.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). Here are some signs and symptoms that may indicate bipolar disorder:
Manic or Hypomanic Episodes:
Feeling unusually high, euphoric, or irritable.
Increased energy, restlessness, or agitation.
Racing thoughts, jumping from one idea to another.
Decreased need for sleep without feeling tired.

Depressive Episodes:
Feeling sad, hopeless, or empty.
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed.
Changes in appetite or weight.
Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or oversleeping.
Fatigue or loss of energy.
Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt.
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.
Thoughts of death or suicide.
Cyclothymic Disorder:
A milder form of bipolar disorder characterized by numerous periods of hypomanic symptoms and depressive symptoms that do not meet the criteria for a full-blown episode of mania or major depression.
Changes in Behavior and Functioning:
Significant changes in behavior, energy levels, and functioning that interfere with daily life, work, and relationships.
If you're experiencing symptoms like these and they are significantly impacting your life, it's important to seek help from a mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychiatric provider, for a comprehensive evaluation and proper diagnosis. They can provide a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
If you consistently experience several of these symptoms across different settings (e.g., work, school, social situations) and they significantly impact your daily functioning, it might be worth seeking a professional evaluation from a healthcare provider, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist. They can provide a comprehensive assessment and guidance on appropriate interventions or treatments if ADHD is diagnosed.
ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, can manifest differently in individuals, but there are common signs to look out for. Here are some indicators that you might have ADHD:
Inattention: Difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or activities, making careless mistakes, easily distracted, difficulty organizing tasks or activities, often forgetful in daily activities.
Hyperactivity: Fidgeting, tapping hands or feet, restlessness, difficulty staying seated in appropriate situations, always "on the go."
Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, interrupting others, difficulty waiting for one's turn, making hasty decisions without considering consequences.
Difficulty with time management and prioritization: Struggling to manage time effectively, often procrastinating on tasks, difficulty completing tasks due to distraction.
Poor impulse control: Difficulty controlling emotions or reactions, blurting out responses, difficulty following through on instructions or commitments.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

It's important to note that not everyone who experiences a traumatic event will develop PTSD, and the severity and duration of symptoms can vary from person to person. If you're experiencing symptoms of PTSD and they are interfering with your daily life, it's essential to seek help from a mental health professional, such as a therapist or counselor, who can provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both.
