Signs of mental illness and signs in adults and kids
A 2017 IHME study estimated 792 million people live with a mental health disorder worldwide, a figure likely higher post pandemic. U S data show about 40 percent of adults reported anxiety or depression during the pandemic, up from 10 percent in 2019. Common signs include excessive worry, sadness, mood changes, social withdrawal, sleep and appetite shifts, concentration difficulties, substance overuse, and in children changes in school performance and behavior.
