10 Signs You or a Loved One May Need Immediate Mental Health Support

Whether you’re a parent or a young adult, you can tell when something feels off. Symptoms of a serious mental health episode may vary depending on the person or the situation, but here are 10 signs that should always be taken seriously:  

  • Inability to function in daily activities   
  • Sleeping excessively or not being able to sleep
  • Difficulty thinking, or speaking coherently   
  • Auditory or visual hallucinations, including ringing sounds or seeing lights   
  • Anxiety that interferes with daily life and decision-making  
  • Suicidal thoughts or plans  
  • Delusions, including feeling indestructible or beyond human   
  • Psychosis, or complete detachment from reality   
  • Self-harming behavior   
  • Suicide attempt—call 911 or 952-826-8424 right away 

If you or your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical care to prevent more serious consequences, including loss of life.

Testimonials

The staff at PrairieCare were top notch! They were exceptional at communicating with us and provided an excellent level of care. The facility was beautiful, organized and very calming. I would highly recommend PrairieCare to others who find themselves in a similar position.

Parent, Inpatient Hospital

I‘m so thankful for PraireCare! The staff were very welcoming and supportive and always listened and did everything they could to help me. I only spent a week there and I feel 100x more confident in myself and better than I did before. Thank you to all the staff for making it as much of a pleasurable experience as possible.

Patient, Inpatient Hospital

Mental health is never easy and it is not an exact science. I would look to this hospital should my son need a higher level of care in the future, as my preferred place to send him. It takes special people who really want to help individuals with their mental health and it is not an easy job by any means, so thank you for all you do!!
