Know when to act

## Warning signs that deserve attention

One sign does not prove a diagnosis. Persistent, severe, or unsafe changes are reasons to speak with a qualified professional.

- Persistent sadness, fear, panic, or hopelessness

- Not sleeping for many nights or a major behaviour change

- Hearing voices, severe confusion, or unusual suspiciousness

- Alcohol, drug, tobacco, or medicine dependence

- Thoughts of self-harm, suicide, or harming another person

### Not sure what to do?

Use the warning-sign lists as a conversation starter. They do not give a score or diagnosis.

If you remain worried, seek help even when a listed sign does not apply.
