How to tell if your mental health is declining

Sometimes mental health symptoms can surface unknowingly so. Therefore, it is essential to track the state of your mental health. If you leave your symptoms untreated, they may worsen over time. If you suspect that your condition is deteriorating, we suggest filling out our basic mental health quiz. Followed is a list of symptoms that could indicate that your mental health is declining.

  • Depressed moods
  • Lack of appetite
  • Loss of social interest
  • Fatigue
  • Agitation
  • Changes in your sleeping pattern
  • Increased irritability
  • Problems with concentration
  • Physical pain in the neck or back from anxiety
  • Suicidal thoughts

The power of meditation

If you are new to meditation, you might find it difficult to silence your mind when engaging in a meditation practice. With consistent practice, you’ll learn to switch off during the session, which will contribute to a calmer state of mind. Somedays, you might find it easy, and other days it might be hard to meditate, and that’s okay.

There are several meditation practices that are available to you. You could, for instance, do a gratitude meditation where you solely focus on everything that you are grateful for. And meditation has several positive outcomes on the brain. With time, you will notice increased concentration, mental alertness, and self-awareness.

Meditation can also lower anxiety and stress, leaving you peaceful after your meditation session. If you go on Youtube and search for guided meditations, you will find plenty of sources to choose from.
