Mental Health Red Flags


According to Mental Health experts, 2023 will be a lot crazier.


We will continue to see more loss of motivation, burnout, depression, anxiety and even suicides.


Sadly, this is just the beginning


And it can affect you, your family, friends or loved ones.


Find out what phenomena is driving this and why it's happening.


What can you do to prevent it?


Mental health is not something that afflicts a particular group or profile.


Nor is it a funny matter.


It's always good to stay prepared...


In our previous article, we defined and shared more How Can We Improve Mental Health At The Workplace?

What to look out for?

  1. Crisis - abnormal behavior (anxious, fidgeting, etc)

  3. Confusion/Frustration - example confusion on government system or support available
