Question

How do you know if you have a mental illness what are the warning signs before its to late?

Answer 1

The only way to know is talking with your Doctor and tell him/her what's going on and how your feeling. If your thinking of hurting yourself go to the ER right away . and the fact that your questioning whether you have a mental illness or not sounds like you might maybe anxiety or depression hope this helps also try www.webmd.com I think there's a symptom checker on there  

Answer 2

I'm not sure there's a "too late" involved. If a condition exists, and the symptoms become more pronounced over time.

Everyone has quirks, though. Reminds me of a joke: What's the difference between "eccentric" and "insane"? "Eccentric" has more money.

The point is to identify, realize, and possibly accept that a condition exists. Then, you can learn how to deal with it.

Answer 3

First off... it's never too late. Mental illness is an Illness, not a terminal disease.

If you think you have one, you probably do. Talk to your GP or any health care professional, they will steer you in the right direction. Also, you can call your local crisis line and talk to one of the trained counsellors there. You might just be suffering from a temporary bout of depression, or perhaps you are vitamin deficient. Lots of things can look like mental illness but are something else. Ask a professional.
