What are the signs of a mental health crisis?

Recognizing the signs of a mental health crisis is crucial for timely intervention. Common signs include intense feelings of hopelessness, inability to cope with daily tasks, drastic changes in behavior or mood, withdrawal from friends and family, and expressions of self-harm or suicidal thoughts. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to seek help immediately. You can contact your GP, reach out to mental health services, or call organizations like Samaritans for support. Remember, a crisis can happen to anyone, and there is no shame in reaching out.
