Mental ill health problems are more prevalent. What are the signs that people should be looking out for?I think it is anything out of the ordinary. Someone might seem to have changed if you have known them for a while. They might be doing their job differently, they might not want to come out with you for a drink, that sort of thing. They might seem withdrawn. Alternatively, they might seem really over the top with things, it is just a noticing that they are different from what they normally are. If they are coping with an addiction of some sort, you might notice them drinking more, you might notice them eating more, or less depending on how they cope with stress. I think if you know the person quite well, it is easy to see that they are not themselves and they are living life in a bit of a different way.At work, they might be late in arriving, they might be not concentrating, they might be making mistakes, that normally they would not make, or if it is a friend, you might notice that they do not want to see you as much as normal or they maybe are on the point of, divulging something and then they pull back that sort of thing. If it is a family member that you know quite well, I think it is easy to see the difference. People you don't know quite so well, you might take a little bit longer, but you come to the realization that something is not right and if it is yourself, you know, you know that things are different and that is a pointer to start asking for help.

Signs of Mental Ill Health: Recognising Changes in Behaviour
Signs to Look Out For
Mental ill health problems can manifest in various signs:
- Changes in behaviour that seem out of the ordinary
- Altered work performance or approach to tasks
- Withdrawal from social activities
- Extreme reactions or heightened emotional responses
- Visible coping mechanisms like increased drinking or eating habits
If you know the person well, you might notice:
- They are not themselves and behaving differently
- They are avoiding social interactions or seem hesitant to open up
- They exhibit signs of addiction or unusual stress coping behaviours
Observations in Different Settings
At work:
- Arriving late or being frequently distracted
- Making uncharacteristic mistakes
With friends:
- Reduced interest in socializing or reluctance to engage
- Moments of almost confiding followed by withdrawal
With family:
- Evident changes in behaviour that are noticeable due to familiarity
With less familiar individuals, it may take longer to recognise these signs, but eventually, you might notice something isn't right. If you notice these changes in yourself, it's important to acknowledge them as potential indicators of mental health issues and seek help.
