有些人可能在不知不覺中患上了精神類疾病（心理問題）,大多數問題的來源和症狀表現集中在意識層面。但對有一些人來說,他們的症狀則表現在軀體方面。每個人的精神疾病（心理問題）都是不同的，每一個人的反應也都不一樣,我們可以在第一時間通過軀體的變化來感知我們是否患有了精神類疾病（心理問題）。

“精神疾病（心理問題）不能，也不應該單獨診斷，但我們也不應該忽視精神疾病的有形和明顯的跡象，”馬里蘭州的Detox,Delphi行為健康的執行主任，Scott Dehorty，在電子郵件上說。“在幾乎所有的精神疾病篩查工具中，有一個關於外貌的部分，包括面部表情、衣著、儀容儀表和自我護理。”

如果你相信你或其他人可能有精神類疾病（心理問題），根據身體的體徵，重要的是去看心理諮詢師，他不僅能幫助診斷，而且還能幫助治療。這裡有12個有趣的精神疾病（心理問題）徵兆。

 

 

1、胃痛（Stomach Ache）

Those stomach issues may actually be a result of what’s going on in your head. “Patients with anxiety disorders can be presented with gastrointestinal upset such as nausea, abdominal pain, or even diarrhea,” says Marra G. Ackerman, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, NYU Langone Medical Center, over email.

這些胃病可能是你對未來即將發生的事情過分焦慮的結果。“患有焦慮症的患者可能會出現噁心、腹痛甚至腹瀉等腸胃不適症狀，”醫學博士、紐約大學朗格尼醫學中心的臨床助理教授Marra g . Ackerman。

 

 

2、體重的突然增加或減少（Sudden Increase Or Decrease In Weight）

Drastic or concerning shifts in weight — whether it’s weight loss or weight gain — can signify a mental health condition. “Eating disorders are a class of mental health disorders where a person has abnormal or inappropriate eating habits that most frequently leading to weight loss,” says psychiatrist Dr. Ayo Gathing, MD over email. “Depression can also indirectly cause weight loss due to shifts in appetite with changes in mood.”

劇烈或有關體重的變化——無論是體重減輕還是體重增加——都可能意味著精神健康狀況。“飲食失調是一種心理健康紊亂，在這種疾病中，一個人的飲食習慣是不正常或不適當的，這是導致體重減輕的最常見原因，”精神病學家Ayo Gathing博士說。“抑鬱也會間接導致體重的減少，因為食慾的變化和情緒的變化。”

 

 

3、裝扮異常（Unusual Clothing）

People with bipolar disorder who are experiencing a manic episode may dress very colorfully or boldly or wear a lot make-up or jewelry, says Ackerman. “They can seem quite frenetic and highly energetic,” she says. “Patients with psychotic disorders may also dress oddly for the weather, such as wearing a coat in the summer or in an otherwise odd fashion.”

阿克曼說，患有躁鬱症的人可能會穿得非常鮮豔或大膽，或者戴上很多化妝品或珠寶。她說:“他們看起來很瘋狂，而且精力充沛。”“精神類疾病（心理問題）患者也可能穿著奇怪的衣服來應對天氣，比如夏天穿外套，或者穿一件奇怪的衣服。”

 

 

4、社交障礙（Social Withdrawal）

“Social withdrawal is often a sign of a serious mental issue,” says clinical psychologist Dr. Carla Manly over email. “Those who suffer from certain mental health issues often worry that they will not be accepted, that they are ‘inferior,’ and that they must hide their disorder. As a result, they often retreat and self-isolate.”

臨床心理學家卡拉·曼利博士在電子郵件中說:“社會退縮往往是嚴重精神問題（心理問題）的徵兆。”“那些患有某些心理健康問題的人常常擔心，他們不會被接受，他們的‘低等’，他們必須隱藏他們的疾病。”因此，他們經常退縮和自我隔離。

 

 

5、精力減退（Reduced Energy）

“Those who are severely depressed often have reduced energy, and therefore spend more time in sedentary, solitary activities,” says Manly. Mental illness can cause fatigue for various reasons, ranging from affecting sleep patterns to lack of exercise to mental exhaustion.

Manly說:“那些嚴重抑鬱的人往往精力更少，因此他們花更多的時間在久坐不動的活動上。”精神類疾病（心理問題）會因各種原因引起疲勞，從影響睡眠模式到缺乏鍛鍊到精神疲憊。

 

 

6、情感遲鈍（Blunted Affect）

People who suffer from depression often show a “blunted affect,” which is a lack of facial expression. “The classic description is one of downcast eyes and slumped posture,” says Dehorty. “This can vary, as people can ‘brighten’ their facial expressions and still feel depressed.”

患有抑鬱症的人經常表現出一種“遲鈍的情感”，即缺乏面部表情。Dehorty說:“經典的描述是沮喪的眼神和垂下的姿勢。”“這是因人而異的，因為人們即便可以‘點亮’他們的面部表情，仍然感到壓抑。”

 

 

7、衛生狀態較差（Poor Hygiene）

“Hygiene is often neglected when someone is in a depressive episode,” says Dehorty. “Their hair may be unwashed and their clothes may be unkempt. They are just not that concerned with their physical appearance.”

Dehorty說:“當某人處於抑鬱期時，衛生常常被忽視。”“他們的頭髮可能沒洗過，衣服也會蓬亂。”他們只是不關心自己的外表，但是他們非常關注於自己的情緒情感。

 

 

8、重複抽搐或行為動作（Repetitive Tics）

Anxiety can manifest itself in many physical ways, including tics. “There can be habitual movements such as rocking or other movements in an attempt to soothe,” says Dehorty.

焦慮可以以多種物理方式表現出來，包括抽搐。Dehorty說:“可以有一些習慣性動作，比如搖晃或其他動作來舒緩。”

 

 

9、慢性疼痛（Chronic Pain）

“It is fairly common for individuals with a mental health condition to complain of recurring aches and pains, hence the popular saying ‘depression hurts,'” says Gathing. “It has been well documented that those with depression are three times more likely to develop chronic pain and report higher incidences of pain on physical exam.”

Gathing說:“對於有精神健康狀況的人來說，抱怨經常性的疼痛是相當普遍的，因此流行的說‘抑鬱是有害的’。”“有充分的證據表明，那些患有抑鬱症的人患慢性疼痛的機率是常人的三倍，並且在身體檢查中報告的疼痛發生率更高。”

 

 

10、坐立不安（Restlessness）

The inability to rest or relax is a key indication that someone may be battling a mental health condition. “Not being able to sit still with constant moving or fidgeting can be present in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD,) schizophrenia, or most commonly, in those with anxiety issues,” says Gathing.

無法休息或放鬆是一個關鍵的跡象，表明某人可能正在與心理健康狀況作鬥爭。Gathing說:“不能安靜地坐著不動，或者坐立不安可以出現在注意力缺陷多動障礙(ADHD)，精神分裂症，或者最常見的，在那些有焦慮問題的人身上。”

 

 

11、性慾減退（Low Sex Drive）

Although there is no single definition of a healthy sex drive, individuals with mental health issues often recognize a downward shift in their libido. “This decrease in sexual appetite can be related to the condition itself — such as with fatigue in depression — after a trauma in post traumatic stress disorder, or from body image issues in eating disorders,” says Gathing.

雖然沒有對健康性行為的單一定義，但是有精神健康問題的個體通常會意識到他們性慾的下降。Gathing說:“這種性慾的減少可能與身體狀況本身有關，比如在創傷後應激障礙或飲食失調的身體形象問題造成的疲勞。”

 

 

12、頻繁感冒和感染（Frequent Colds & Infections）

Many people who suffer from mental illness often get frequent cold and infections, says psychologist Dr. Ganz Ferrance over email. “They won’t heal as quickly at it won’t go away as fast,” he says. This can particularly happen when you’re under a lot of stress.

心理學家甘茨·弗蘭斯在郵件中說，許多患有精神疾病的人經常患感冒和感染。他說:“它們不會很快癒合，也不會很快消失。”當你壓力很大的時候，這種情況就會發生。
