Mental illnesses such as
Schizophrenia or bipolar disorder rarely appear out of nowhere someone's family friends
Teachers or other people in their lives may notice small changes
Or a feeling that something isn't quite right about how they feel
how they think
Or how they behave
mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression can
Appear out of nowhere which makes it difficult for people experiencing them to understand or know
Exactly what they are experiencing
Here are 10 signs
