It's easy to spot signs of physical suffering, but much emotional pain can be easily masked. “We don't tend to have conversations about mental well-being,” says Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen, a clinic psychologist. Simply asking someone “How are you” may just get “Fine, thank you”, says Van Dahlen. “It's important to be aware of what could lead to somebody needing help they're afraid to ask for,” she adds. The following are four signs a friend might need help.
If you sense something different about the way your friend is acting — maybe he's not smiling much these days, for instance — trust your feelings and reach out. “Try saying, ‘I see these things. I care about you. Can I be of help?'”, Van Dahlen says.
He's unusually unhappy or annoyed.
“It may take more than one time to follow up if you're talking to someone who is upset,” Van Dahlen says, “but if a friend responds with anger, that could mean you're onto something.”
He's less put together than usual.
Drinking more and ignoring personal hygiene (卫生) can be signs that someone is in trouble. Don't consider these behaviors are nothing. He seems overwhelmed (压倒) by life.
No one is happy all the time, but if your once optimistic friend can't find anything to be hopeful about, he may be having thoughts of worthlessness, sadness and something negative. “” says Van Dahlen, “so that more people can get the help they need.”
A. He's acting a bit more withdrawn.
B. He doesn't seem like himself lately.
C. Instead treat them as a sign to care for your friend.
D. Getting angry quickly and easily can be a sign that something is wrong.
E. It's a constant effort to bring into the open discussions about mental health.
F. Many people avoid talking about it no matter how close they are to someone.
G. We want people to get comfortable being more open and discussing mental health.
