There’s no easy test that can let someone know if there is mental illness or if actions and thoughts might be typical behaviors of a person or the result of a physical illness.\nEach illness has its own symptoms, but common signs of mental illness in adults and adolescents can include the following:\nExcessive worrying or fear\nFeeling excessively sad or low\nConfused thinking or problems concentrating and learning\nExtreme mood changes, including uncontrollable “highs” or feelings of euphoria\nProlonged or strong feelings of irritability or anger\nAvoiding friends and social activities\nDifficulties understanding or relating to other people\nChanges in sleeping habits or feeling tired and low energy\nChanges in eating habits such as increased hunger or lack of appetite\nChanges in sex drive\nDifficulty perceiving reality (delusions or hallucinations, in which a person experiences and senses things that don’t exist in objective reality)\nInability to perceive changes in one’s own feelings, behavior or personality (”lack of insight” or anosognosia)\nOveruse of substances like alcohol or drugs\nMultiple physical ailments without obvious causes (such as headaches, stomach aches, vague and ongoing “aches and pains”)\nThinking about suicide\nInability to carry out daily activities or handle daily problems and stress\nAn intense fear of weight gain or concern with appearance\nMental health conditions can also begin to develop in young children. Because they’re still learning how to identify and talk about thoughts and emotions, their most obvious symptoms are behavioral. Symptoms in children may include the following:\nChanges in school performance\nExcessive worry or anxiety, for instance fighting to avoid bed or school\nHyperactive behavior\nFrequent nightmares\nFrequent disobedience or aggression\nFrequent temper tantrums\nWhere To Get Help\nDon’t be afraid to reach out if you or someone you know needs help. Learning all you can about mental health is an important first step.\nReach out to your health insurance, primary care doctor or state\/county mental health authority for more resources.\nContact the \nNAMI HelpLine\n to find out what services and supports are available in your community.\nIf you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. \nCall\n or \ntext\n 988 or chat \n988lifeline.org\n to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.\nReceiving A Diagnosis\nKnowing warning signs can help let you know if you need to speak to a professional. For many people, getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step in a treatment plan.\nUnlike diabetes or cancer, there is no medical test that can accurately diagnose mental illness. A \nmental health professional\n will use the \nDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders\n, published by the American Psychiatric Association, to assess symptoms and make a diagnosis. The manual lists criteria including feelings and behaviors and time limits in order to be officially classified as a mental health condition.\nAfter diagnosis, a health care provider can help develop a treatment plan that could include medication, therapy or other lifestyle changes.\nFinding Treatment\nGetting a diagnosis is just the first step; knowing your own preferences and goals is also important. Treatments for mental illness vary by diagnosis and by person. There’s no “one size fits all” treatment. Treatment options can include \nmedication, counseling (therapy), social support and education\n.","attrs_markdown":"[![Banner Image](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Interstitial-1-03-16-26-to-03-31-26.png)](https:\/\/donate.nami.org\/campaign\/760756\/donate?utm_source=globalNav&utm_medium=interstitial&utm_campaign=DonationTracking26CQB2&c_src=26CQB2)\n\n[Skip to content](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/warning-signs-and-symptoms\/#main-content)\n\n[Skip to content](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/warning-signs-and-symptoms\/#main-content)\n\nToggle Search\n\n- [Join NAMI](https:\/\/my.nami.org\/join-nami)\n- [Sign In](https:\/\/my.nami.org\/)\n- [Who We Are](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/who-we-are\/)\n- [Stay Connected](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/stay-connected\/)\n- [Newsroom](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/press-and-media\/)\n- [Work at NAMI](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/about-nami\/work-at-nami\/)\n- [Get Help](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/nami-helpline\/)\n- [Find Your Local NAMI](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/findsupport\/)\n\nToggle Mobile Navigation\n\n[![NAMI](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/NAMI-LOGO.webp)](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/)\n\n- Find Support\n  Find Support\n  \n  -

Get immediate support by calling, texting or emailing.\n\n[Get help](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/nami-helpline\/)\n\nTrying to tell the difference between what expected behaviors are and what might be the signs of a mental illness isn’t always easy. There’s no easy test that can let someone know if there is mental illness or if actions and thoughts might be typical behaviors of a person or the result of a physical illness.\n\nEach illness has its own symptoms, but common signs of mental illness in adults and adolescents can include the following:\n\n- Excessive worrying or fear\n- Feeling excessively sad or low\n- Confused thinking or problems concentrating and learning\n- Extreme mood changes, including uncontrollable “highs” or feelings of euphoria\n- Prolonged or strong feelings of irritability or anger\n- Avoiding friends and social activities\n- Difficulties understanding or relating to other people\n- Changes in sleeping habits or feeling tired and low energy\n- Changes in eating habits such as increased hunger or lack of appetite\n- Changes in sex drive\n- Difficulty perceiving reality (delusions or hallucinations, in which a person experiences and senses things that don’t exist in objective reality)\n- Inability to perceive changes in one’s own feelings, behavior or personality (”lack of insight” or anosognosia)\n- Overuse of substances like alcohol or drugs\n- Multiple physical ailments without obvious causes (such as headaches, stomach aches, vague and ongoing “aches and pains”)\n- Thinking about suicide\n- Inability to carry out daily activities or handle daily problems and stress\n- An intense fear of weight gain or concern with appearance\n\nMental health conditions can also begin to develop in young children. Because they’re still learning how to identify and talk about thoughts and emotions, their most obvious symptoms are behavioral. Symptoms in children may include the following:\n\n- Changes in school performance\n- Excessive worry or anxiety, for instance fighting to avoid bed or school\n- Hyperactive behavior\n- Frequent nightmares\n- Frequent disobedience or aggression\n- Frequent temper tantrums\n\n## Where To Get Help\nDon’t be afraid to reach out if you or someone you know needs help. Learning all you can about mental health is an important first step.\n\nReach out to your health insurance, primary care doctor or state\/county mental health authority for more resources.\n\nContact the [NAMI HelpLine](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/Find-Support\/NAMI-HelpLine) to find out what services and supports are available in your community.\n\nIf you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. [Call](tel:988) or [text](sms:988) 988 or chat [988lifeline.org](https:\/\/988lifeline.org\/) to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.\n\n## Receiving A Diagnosis\nKnowing warning signs can help let you know if you need to speak to a professional. For many people, getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step in a treatment plan.\n\nUnlike diabetes or cancer, there is no medical test that can accurately diagnose mental illness. A [mental health professional](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/Learn-More\/Treatment\/Types-of-Mental-Health-Professionals) will use the *Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders*, published by the American Psychiatric Association, to assess symptoms and make a diagnosis. The manual lists criteria including feelings and behaviors and time limits in order to be officially classified as a mental health condition.\n\nAfter diagnosis, a health care provider can help develop a treatment plan that could include medication, therapy or other lifestyle changes.\n\n## Finding Treatment\nGetting a diagnosis is just the first step; knowing your own preferences and goals is also important. Treatments for mental illness vary by diagnosis and by person. There’s no “one size fits all” treatment. Treatment options can include [medication, counseling (therapy), social support and education](https:\/\/www.nami.org\/about-mental-illness\/treatments\/).\n\n#### Find local support\nConnect with a NAMI chapter near you\n\nSelect your state\n\nSelect your state to find a local NAMI affiliate.

[Get help](https://www.nami.org/nami-helpline/) Trying to tell the difference between what expected behaviors are and what might be the signs of a mental illness isn’t always easy. There’s no easy test that can let someone know if there is mental illness or if actions and thoughts might be typical behaviors of a person or the result of a physical illness. Each illness has its own symptoms, but common signs of mental illness in adults and adolescents can include the following: - Excessive worrying or fear - Feeling excessively sad or low - Confused thinking or problems concentrating and learning - Extreme mood changes, including uncontrollable “highs” or feelings of euphoria - Prolonged or strong feelings of irritability or anger - Avoiding friends and social activities - Difficulties understanding or relating to other people - Changes in sleeping habits or feeling tired and low energy - Changes in eating habits such as increased hunger or lack of appetite - Changes in sex drive - Difficulty perceiving reality (delusions or hallucinations, in which a person experiences and senses things that don’t exist in objective reality) - Inability to perceive changes in one’s own feelings, behavior or personality (”lack of insight” or anosognosia) - Overuse of substances like alcohol or drugs - Multiple physical ailments without obvious causes (such as headaches, stomach aches, vague and ongoing “aches and pains”) - Thinking about suicide - Inability to carry out daily activities or handle daily problems and stress - An intense fear of weight gain or concern with appearance Mental health conditions can also begin to develop in young children. Because they’re still learning how to identify and talk about thoughts and emotions, their most obvious symptoms are behavioral. Symptoms in children may include the following: - Changes in school performance - Excessive worry or anxiety, for instance fighting to avoid bed or school - Hyperactive behavior - Frequent nightmares - Frequent disobedience or aggression - Frequent temper tantrums ## Where To Get Help Don’t be afraid to reach out if you or someone you know needs help. Learning all you can about mental health is an important first step. Reach out to your health insurance, primary care doctor or state/county mental health authority for more resources. Contact the [NAMI HelpLine](https://www.nami.org/Find-Support/NAMI-HelpLine) to find out what services and supports are available in your community. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. [Call](tel:988) or [text](sms:988) 988 or chat [988lifeline.org](https://988lifeline.org/) to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. ## Receiving A Diagnosis Knowing warning signs can help let you know if you need to speak to a professional. For many people, getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step in a treatment plan. Unlike diabetes or cancer, there is no medical test that can accurately diagnose mental illness. A [mental health professional](https://www.nami.org/Learn-More/Treatment/Types-of-Mental-Health-Professionals) will use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association, to assess symptoms and make a diagnosis. The manual lists criteria including feelings and behaviors and time limits in order to be officially classified as a mental health condition. After diagnosis, a health care provider can help develop a treatment plan that could include medication, therapy or other lifestyle changes. ## Finding Treatment Getting a diagnosis is just the first step; knowing your own preferences and goals is also important. Treatments for mental illness vary by diagnosis and by person. There’s no “one size fits all” treatment. Treatment options can include [medication, counseling (therapy), social support and education](https://www.nami.org/about-mental-illness/treatments/). #### Find local support Connect with a NAMI chapter near you Select your state Select your state to find a local NAMI affiliate.

Readable Markdown	Trying to tell the difference between what expected behaviors are and what might be the signs of a mental illness isn’t always easy. There’s no easy test that can let someone know if there is mental illness or if actions and thoughts might be typical behaviors of a person or the result of a physical illness. Each illness has its own symptoms, but common signs of mental illness in adults and adolescents can include the following: - Excessive worrying or fear - Feeling excessively sad or low - Confused thinking or problems concentrating and learning - Extreme mood changes, including uncontrollable “highs” or feelings of euphoria - Prolonged or strong feelings of irritability or anger - Avoiding friends and social activities - Difficulties understanding or relating to other people - Changes in sleeping habits or feeling tired and low energy - Changes in eating habits such as increased hunger or lack of appetite - Changes in sex drive - Difficulty perceiving reality (delusions or hallucinations, in which a person experiences and senses things that don’t exist in objective reality) - Inability to perceive changes in one’s own feelings, behavior or personality (”lack of insight” or anosognosia) - Overuse of substances like alcohol or drugs - Multiple physical ailments without obvious causes (such as headaches, stomach aches, vague and ongoing “aches and pains”) - Thinking about suicide - Inability to carry out daily activities or handle daily problems and stress - An intense fear of weight gain or concern with appearance Mental health conditions can also begin to develop in young children. Because they’re still learning how to identify and talk about thoughts and emotions, their most obvious symptoms are behavioral. Symptoms in children may include the following: - Changes in school performance - Excessive worry or anxiety, for instance fighting to avoid bed or school - Hyperactive behavior - Frequent nightmares - Frequent disobedience or aggression - Frequent temper tantrums ## Where To Get Help Don’t be afraid to reach out if you or someone you know needs help. Learning all you can about mental health is an important first step. Reach out to your health insurance, primary care doctor or state/county mental health authority for more resources. Contact the [NAMI HelpLine](https://www.nami.org/Find-Support/NAMI-HelpLine) to find out what services and supports are available in your community. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. [Call](tel:988) or [text](sms:988) 988 or chat [988lifeline.org](https://988lifeline.org/) to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. ## Receiving A Diagnosis Knowing warning signs can help let you know if you need to speak to a professional. For many people, getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step in a treatment plan. Unlike diabetes or cancer, there is no medical test that can accurately diagnose mental illness. A [mental health professional](https://www.nami.org/Learn-More/Treatment/Types-of-Mental-Health-Professionals) will use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association, to assess symptoms and make a diagnosis. The manual lists criteria including feelings and behaviors and time limits in order to be officially classified as a mental health condition. After diagnosis, a health care provider can help develop a treatment plan that could include medication, therapy or other lifestyle changes. ## Finding Treatment Getting a diagnosis is just the first step; knowing your own preferences and goals is also important. Treatments for mental illness vary by diagnosis and by person. There’s no “one size fits all” treatment. Treatment options can include [medication, counseling (therapy), social support and education](https://www.nami.org/about-mental-illness/treatments/).
