According to the discussion, some warning signs may include prolonged stress, emotional exhaustion, persistent sadness, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, withdrawal from family and friends, loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can vary from person to person and should not automatically be considered a diagnosis, but they may indicate that professional support is needed.
Yeboah Agyekum Francis stressed that seeking help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. Mental health professionals advise that early intervention can improve outcomes and help individuals regain emotional stability and overall wellbeing.
He also encouraged families and communities to create supportive environments where people feel comfortable discussing their emotional struggles without fear of stigma.
