10 Behaviors That Are Actually Signs of Mental Illness
What if the things you think make you unique — your habits, quirks, or coping mechanisms — are actually symptoms of mental illness?
In this video, we’re diving deep into 10 everyday behaviors that seem normal… but are actually red flags your brain might be in survival mode. From overthinking to emotional numbness, compulsive picking, and impulsive decisions — these are the hidden psychological signs most people completely miss.
🧠 You’ll learn:
– The real science behind “quirky” habits that are actually disorders
– Why your brain tricks you into destructive loops (and how to recognize it)
– The difference between normal anxiety and clinical symptoms
– What to do if you see yourself in these behaviors
This video isn’t about judgment — it’s about awareness. Because once you understand what your brain is doing, you can start taking back control.
👇 Watch until the end to find out which 3 warning signs psychologists say are the easiest to miss — and could save your mental health.

I punch myself in the face. Wat does that mean?
I have 5 of them out of 10.
I need the content without this background music.
Scripture says to take every thought captive.
Some of this thinking is from the enemy. As believers we have authority over the enemy.
decision paralysis happens because if we make the wrong decision that could set us back years financially . SO I think most people have this if they do not have a safety net they can not take chances like rich people can or people whose parents can help them out when they make a wrong decision .
I think if you are human with limited resources you will have most of those "signs"
I didn’t expect anything when I picked up Manifest the Divine by Elena River. But wow… it felt like someone finally explained manifestation in a way my brain could accept. Been seeing little blessings pop up everywhere since. ❤
Manifest the Divine by Elena River honestly made me feel like I got my power back. I’d been doubting myself for so long. Her approach woke something up in me. Things are shifting in ways I never expected. ❤
It’s wild how simple manifestation becomes when you finally understand it. Manifest the Divine by Elena River explained things so clearly. I’m seeing movement now in places I thought were dead ends. Still can’t believe it.
Manifest the Divine by Elena River helped me break out of that “why me” mindset. I didn’t understand how much I was blocking myself until I read it. Now life feels a lot more open, like things can actually happen for me.
Someone recommended Manifest the Divine by Elena River in a comment section and I’m so glad I listened. This book doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It just tells you what actually works. My whole mindset is different now.
I didn’t expect to relate to this book so much but Manifest the Divine by Elena River felt like someone finally understood the mess in my head. Applying what she teaches has already brought so much clarity. Life feels hopeful again.
Not exaggerating when I say Manifest the Divine by Elena River helped me get out of one of the darkest phases of my life. I felt stuck for years. This book gave me clarity I didn’t even know I needed. Grateful is an understatement. ❤

I am pretty much all of them, can't be good…
Ok
I have had too many of these since childhood. Some genetic. Some behavioral. In recovery for 30 years with assorted meds. Best results have been made in Celebrate Recovery, in my church.
Mental illness isn’t always obvious — this video explains it well.
Never tell a doctor you're depressed.. they'll just set you up on drugs and totally destroy your life. It starts out small.

Talking about mental deficiencies. Look at the actions of Donald Trump.😅
WHAT BACKGROUND CREDENTIALS DO YOU HAVE TO EXPOUND ON SUCH A SUBJECT? DO YOU HAVE SUCH DATA VALIDATION REVIEWS & PEER STUDY FACTS TO SUPPORT YOUR SUPPOSED 'CLAIMS'?????
OTHERWISE YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER LOONEY LIKEWISE TRYING ONLY TO 'PROVE' FACTS YOU DERIVED FROM OTHER SOURCES WHICH YOU ERRONEOUSLY MIS-INTERPRETED & MIS-REPRESENTED THEM YOURSELF!!!!!
WHATTA SHAME YOU @Obscurience !!!!! 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽🫵🏽🫵🏽🫵🏽🫵🏽🫵🏽🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢😆😆😆😆😆

Yo, look how cute, how nice if you're not offered it's perfect solution for itself seems to be there is a great past time, limited edition or subjects unknown, do it again soon see the shrunken one amen
Ruminating isn't a mental illness, so you can go ahead and correct that part…
…WELL, I guess EVERYONE is a BASKETCASE!!! INCLUDING YOU🫵🤣
Your mind says yes while your heart says no.
You think of something productive. Rumination. Lost interest.
Yes that's me.
I just show 2!!
Omg, I have 8/10. I guess I'm screwed.
Didn't talk about schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, borderline disorder, bipolar disorder, and in fact some of these subjects that were talked about are the beginning of one of these at times. I think this video is a little irresponsible to be honest
This world 🌎 is alien 👽 don't worry about this.
My brain is normal but it's always manipulated by satellite operators through synthetic telepathy and voice to skull technology 😊
I went to my psychiatrist.and for some reason.the subject of pediatrics came up .and she said from her studies children can't be diagnosed with mental illness .and that's it's easier to diagnose adults.
10/10. But I am in a maximum security mental health facility 😊
guess I'm mental
