Recognizing a Need for Mental Health Services
Symptoms of poor mental health may be more difficult to recognize than you think. While you may easily identify certain symptoms, such as anxious or depressed moods, other symptoms may appear more normal and harmless than they really are. Be sure to pay attention to experiencing any changes in how you’re feeling and consider seeking mental health services.
