PROVIDING OUR PATIENTS WITH THE BEST CARE

SYMPTOMS


Signs and symptoms of mental illness can vary depending on the disorder, circumstances, and other factors. Mental illness symptoms can affect emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.


Sometimes symptoms of a mental health disorder appear as physical problems, such as stomach pain, back pain, headache, or other unexplained aches and pains.


See your primary care provider or mental health specialist if you have any signs or symptoms of a mental illness. Most mental illnesses don’t improve on their own; if untreated, a mental illness may worsen over time and cause serious problems.


If your loved one shows signs of mental illness, have an open and honest discussion with them about your concerns. You may not be able to force someone to get professional care, but you can offer encouragement and support.
