Mental illness is described as a wide range of emotional and mental conditions. Many people suffer from mental health concerns and psychiatric problems from time to time. A mental health concern can become a mental illness when some ongoing symptoms and signs lead to frequent stress that affects a person’s ability to function. They can lead to problems in daily life, such as at work or school or in relationships. In the majority of cases, mental health symptoms can be managed with a combination of talk therapy and medications.

The Symptoms of Mental Illness can differ, depending on the disorder, circumstances and some other factors. It can affect thought, emotions, and behaviour. The most evident signs and symptoms include:

• Lack of concentration or attention span
• Feeling sad or low
• Excessive fears or worries, or extreme feelings of guilt

• Inability to cope with daily issues or stress
