Mental health challenges do not always appear suddenly. In many cases, they develop gradually, making them difficult to recognise in the early stages. What may seem like temporary stress, tiredness or a bad mood can sometimes point to a deeper psychological concern.
According to Dr Rahul Chandhok, Senior Consultant and Head of Psychiatry, Mental Health and Behavioural Sciences at Artemis Hospitals, paying attention to changes in emotions, behaviour and daily functioning can help people identify potential warning signs before they become more serious.
