Depression. Anxiety. Trouble concentrating. Mood swings. Aggression. Suicidal thoughts.

Many individuals have felt some level of these feelings at different times in their lives, but all of these could be signs of mental illness or a psychiatric disorder. The only way to determine for sure whether you or a loved one may be suffering from a mental disorder is to seek help from a mental health professional.
