The 5 Signs


The five signs of suffering are personality change, agitation, withdrawal, poor self-care, hopelessness. Someone may exhibit one or more signs. If you recognize that someone in your life is suffering: connect, reach out, inspire hope, and offer help. Learn more at umttr’s website.

Personality Change


Their personality changes. You may notice sudden or gradual changes in the way that someone typically behaves.

Agitation



You may notice the person has more frequent problems controlling his or her temper and seems irritable or unable to calm down.

Withdrawal


Someone who used to be socially engaged may pull away from family and friends and stop taking part in activities he or she used to enjoy.

Poor Self-Care


You may notice a change in the person’s level of personal care or an act of poor judgment on his or her part.

Hopelessness


Have you noticed someone who used to be optimistic and now can’t find anything to be hopeful about? That person may be suffering from extreme or prolonged grief, or feelings of worthlessness or guilt.
