1. Sleeping issues

Sleep changes are one of the first and most noticeable signs of mental illness. Do you find yourself having trouble falling asleep? And most importantly, since when did you spot this issue? For instance, insomnia could be a strong indicator that you might have anxiety.

On the other hand, there are also seniors that find themselves sleeping too many hours compared to the past, when they used to get up at 7 a.m. This is an early sign that you might deal with depression. Everything seems just too hard to face, and sleeping longer can compensate for the way you feel.
