Topic: Symptoms of anxiety occur in about 30% of us at some point in our lifetime and for depression it’s about 20% . These symptoms can certainly cause distress, and we often need help to get better but how do you know when someone has a mental illness that needs immediate intervention. Bipolar Disorder and schizophrenia can cause severe distress in the lives or those who have it and in those who love them. How can you tell when someone may be in danger of hurting themselves or someone else? Today we’ll be talking with an expert on how we can tell and what we should do.
