Everyone goes through periods of ups and downs. A death in the family, a job loss, a medical diagnosis – any stressful event can trigger feelings of sadness, worry and fear.
Mental health problems are common: Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the United States experiences some form of mental illness. The first way to get help is to recognize the red flags in the early stages and to reach out to a loved one, doctor, mental health professional or other trusted individual.
Below are 10 signs that your mental health – or the mental health of a friend, family member or colleague – may be declining and in need of attention. It’s important to note that any of these can occur occasionally or during a particularly stressful time period and not be considered concerning. But if there is a prolonged pattern – for example, signs that persist for two weeks or longer – It's time for you to reach out for help.

After 20 years of military service and another 20 years in corrections I know I have my demons not to mention injuries. At this time I have been able to keep them in check for the most part. Add to that life and you have a great combination for a disaster. I have been accused of PTSD and I have asked to see the diploma. V.A has asked me if I need help after interviews and I have told them that my demons are well mannered and that I don't need anyone upsetting the balance. I truly feel at this point I have a good handle on things. I also believe society and their requirements have played a big role in the mental defect of many.
