Psych2Go On the GO

Have you been feeling overly anxious lately? Or are you worried that your loved ones might be suffering from a mental illness? If you want to be more informed about the warning signs of a mental illness, here are a few early warning signs of mental illness.

Disclaimer. This video is meant to be informative. It is not a guide for self-diagnosis. If any of these points apply to you or someone you know, please seek professional medical help.

Note: How do you help someone with a mental illness? When placed in that situation, many of us do not know what to do. Typically, you might offer words of support or encouragement. You may want to try to solve everything. However, sometimes your seemingly good intentions can come off as abrasive or insensitive. When trying to help someone with a mental health illness, listen. Listen to that person and allow them to voice whatever they are feeling and validate them. Do not try to diagnose them or consult them. Please leave that to a mental health professional. Also, inform yourself about the mental illness and its warning signs so that you can refer them to a professional if necessary. (taking into account if they want to get help also. Don’t try to force anyone).

We also made a video on the signs your mental health is getting worse: https://youtu.be/5bNI_NloNa8

Anxiety disorders affect nearly 20% of adults in North America. That’s about 40 million people! Many researchers estimate that this number is actually closer to 30% since there are many people who suffer undiagnosed anxiety symptoms or aren’t even aware they have anxiety at all. Sometimes, it feels like anxiety has become a part of modern-day life, and it’s something many of us just have to deal with. So, how do you deal with the anxiety? Some of our guilty pleasures may be agitating our anxiety instead of reducing it.

We've made this video to help you be more aware of these everyday habits that may be stressing you out more than you know.

If you relate to this video and want to learn more about anxiety, we have a video on the signs of hidden anxiety here: https://youtu.be/woJFvy5Jp1Y

Are you lying to yourself without realizing it? Do you find it hard to trust yourself? Trusting ourselves plays a big part in finding happiness. If we don't trust ourselves or trust other people's opinions more than our own, it hurts our self-esteem and leads us to places we don't really want to be in or do things that we don't really want to do. Do you tend to lie to yourself about what's right for you because of other people's opinions? To help you become more aware of your behaviors, we will be addressing signs you might be lying to yourself without knowing it.

Antisocial personality disorder is a mental condition in which a person has a lasting pattern of manipulating, exploiting or violating the rights of others without any remorse and it is linked to sociopathy. While only 3% of men and 1% of women suffer from this disorder in the US according to PsychologyToday, it is important for us to discuss it. In our previous video, we talked about what Antisocial Personality Disorder really is, so today, we want to look deeper into the signs of antisocial personality disorder.

If you're wondering about the antisocial personality video we posted a while back, here's the link: https://youtu.be/bW2IjDNBI1c
