I've Been Worried About You:
How to Support a Mentally Unstable Family Member
Identifying mental health issues in a family member or friend can be challenging. Many people experience feelings of sadness, anxiety, worry, irritability, or sleep disturbances at some point. But when these emotions become overwhelming and persistent, disrupting daily life and relationships, it could indicate a mental health concern.
Similar to seeking medical treatment for physical ailments, individuals with mental health issues may require medication and therapy to improve their well-being. It is best to demonstrate empathy and encouragement, while also highlighting the availability of assistance and the treatability of mental health issues.
