Some people can get so depressed or problematic that they even reach a point where they question their own sanity. Many people actually wonder if they have really gone over the edge.
How about you? Try to answer these questions:
Do you have feelings of sadness or irritability? Has there been a loss of interest in pleasurable activities that you once enjoyed? Have you noticed any weight loss or change in your appetite? Have you noticed changes in your sleeping pattern? Are you feeling guilty? Are you experiencing difficulty in concentrating, remembering things or making decisions? Have you had thoughts of suicide or death? If you answered yes to most of these questions, consider consulting your family physician as your mental health maybe at risk.
Mental health, as defined by the Surgeon General’s Report on Mental Health, refers to the successful performance of mental function, resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with other people, and the ability to adapt to change and cope with adversity. On the other end of the flow is mental illness, a term that refers to all mental disorders.
Mental disorders are health...
