Hey Pandas, What Are Some Overlooked Or Not Very Important Signs Of Mental Disorders?

- Not being very hungry, ever.
- Spacing out excessively for no reason at all/brain-fog.
- Random stomach aches...usually caused by anxiety.
- Fidgeting ALL the time or destructively fidgeting (ripping thread off a shirt, tearing up paper, accidently crushing something in your fist, etc.)
- Getting the "zoomies" like a dog would, but not for happy reasons. Just feeling the need to physically burn off negative energy.

Mood swings caused by nothing

Being inattentive, changes in sleep pattern, loss or gain of appetite, etc.

Excessive or compulsive behaviour, irritability, inability to control emotions

Being the therapist of the friend group. I am the therapist, but idk I feel like I struggle more than my friends. I do this because I care, and I feel useless so I hope I at least make some change to a person's life. The therapist is often ignored, so don't forget to always reach out to your friends!

I also think you can learn a lot about a person based on their music taste- mainly the lyrics.

Organisational skills. Time Management. Prioritisation

For depression, a sudden improvement in mood, which is usually a bad sign that the person might be contemplating unaliving themselves.

Inability to deal with rejection. No, I don’t mean ‘refuses to accept that they aren’t the best at everything’. I mean ‘the inability to regulate emotions caused by rejection’. I mean ‘every small rejection is disproportionately upsetting’.

-Not expressing interest in the things they used to.

-Withdrawal from friends and family.

-Unusual changes in mood i.e. someone usually quiet is suddenly talkative and vice versa.

-Generally any moderate to severe and perceived as a negative* change in someone's behaviour is worth looking into.

*Note: To clarify, there's nothing wrong with being quiet (or talkative!) or withdrawn but a sudden change to different behaviour can be a sign of an issue.
