One, isolation.

第一，孤立。

While wanting to be alone from time to time is perfectly normal, constant isolation may be a sign of a mental breakdown.

If you find yourself avoiding all social situations, like spending time with your friends or even going to work, it may be time for you to reach out for some help.

Do you find yourself losing interest in the things you used to enjoy?

你有發現自己對以前喜歡的東西失去興趣嗎？

If you do, you may be developing symptoms of depression.

如果失去興趣的話，你可能有憂鬱症的症狀。

Symptoms of depression are usually associated with loss of interest as well as the inability to carry out daily tasks.

憂鬱症症狀很常與失去興趣有關係，無法進行日常活動也與憂鬱症症狀相關。

These signs can be indicative of a change in mood or that you are mentally overwhelmed, which could progressively lead to a mental breakdown.

這些跡象可能代表情緒上的轉變，或是你心理已承受量過大，會漸漸變成心理崩潰。

Number three, absent-mindedness.

第三，心神恍惚。

Have you been really caught up in your thoughts lately?

最近你很常深陷在思緒裡嗎？

Mental distress can cause you to think a lot.

心理苦惱會讓你很常思考。

A person on the verge of a mental breakdown can seem preoccupied as if their mind is elsewhere.

在心理崩潰邊緣的人可能看起來全神貫注，但他們的心思早就在別處。

You may even look like you're silently staring blankly into an open space, which is actually commonly seen in adolescent breakdowns.

你可能看起來像在盯著空曠的空白處，這是青春期崩潰的常見徵兆。

Four, unhealthy lifestyle changes.

第四，出現不健康的生活習慣。

From sleep, hygiene, to eating habits, severe unhealthy lifestyle changes can be a sign of a mental breakdown.

These can include suddenly sleeping really late, snacking too much, or not exercising because of a sudden loss of motivation.

If you find yourself having sudden unhealthy lifestyle changes, you might want to check on your mental well-being.

Paranoia is a thought process that causes you to have irrational suspicion or mistrust of others.

多疑是一個思考過程，會讓你對他人有不理性的懷疑或不信任。

As paranoia is also known for having constant anxiety-related beliefs, developing symptoms of paranoia may indicate that you are under severe stress, which can lead to a mental breakdown.

多疑表示會有焦慮相關的認知，有疑神疑鬼的症狀表示你可能有極大的壓力，可能會導致心理崩潰。

Six, slowing down of speech.

第六，講話變慢。

Have you responded with, "I don't know" or "I just don't feel right" when asked about your feelings?

在被問到自身感覺時，你有沒有用過我不知道、我就是感覺不太對來回答？

One of the earliest signs of a mental breakdown is changes in speech patterns, which can come in the form of hesitation or in the slowness of speech.

心理崩潰最早期的現象之一就是說話模式的改變，可能以猶豫的形式顯現，或是說話速度會降低。

This could be due to the emergence of intrusive thoughts or strong feelings you may find difficult to express.

這可能是因為侵略性的想法突然出現，或你有難以表達的強烈感受。

And seven, panic attacks.

第七，恐慌症發作。

Mental breakdowns are periods of intense mental distress associated with anxiety and depression.

心理崩潰是週期式、與焦慮或憂鬱相關的強烈心理苦惱。
