How to tell if You/a Loved One are having Mental Health problems | Signs on Mental Health Concerns
Hey there, and welcome back to my channel! I'm Shika, a mental health occupational therapist, and a dedicated mental health advocate. In today's video, I'm here to address a crucial topic: 'How to tell if You or a Loved One are having Mental Health problems.'
Before we get started, I want to acknowledge a little hiccup - I accidentally deleted the intro to this video, but that won't stop us from diving into this important discussion.
Your mental health is incredibly valuable, and understanding the signs of mental health concerns is the first step toward seeking help and support. In this video, we'll explore the signs and symptoms that may indicate a mental health issue, whether in yourself, a loved one, or even in children.
We'll also discuss when it's the right time to consider reaching out to a therapist.
If you're looking for personalized guidance or support, you can reach out to my private practice at +27603761601. I also offer low-cost sessions for those who are unfunded. Feel free to contact me via email at info.shikaot@gmail.com for more information.
Your input and well-being are highly valued.

Clearly u have medical aid! Go try that in SA without! Go do a government hospital

Thank you so much for sharing, you have motivated me on so many levels. I have recently been diagnosed with MDD & GAD I also have FND. I am being admitted soon but its government i am a bit concerned because i have no idea what to expect and how i am going to deal. I am fully committed to healing and I want to but i am not sure how government will be. I am going Groote Schuur Hosp. If anyone has experience please can you advise me. I am really worried but i really want to go. I want to heal. I am 26 and struggling 😭😭😭
From one stranger to another - I pray for your healing and that you come out stronger and happier then before.
Sm comvimced on getting admitted. Can you advice what are the costs and which hospital did you get admitted to.
Hi, there. I was at Vista Clinic in Centurion. It costs about R60000 and my Gems medical aid covered it. Hospital plans also cover it.

Watch My Next Video where we Frame Black Tax as a Mental Health Issue ua-cam.com/video/ORiutz8-hoo/v-deo.htmlsi=uB-gmxrjU2_Asz1X
This Video is about Framing Black Tax as a Mental Health Issue!
And Oh yes the part about helping massively too soon and not getting the chance to improve yourself for the long term is sooo valid! That part!!!
LOL what you said about some people getting to record music sent me!😂😂 Honestly, we all all need to be realistic. You can’t give more than what you have. It’s literally not there🧍🏿♀️
And it comes from a good, noble intention. But money doesn’t grow on trees 😞
Hello everyone! I wanted to let you know that I've just released a follow-up video where I talk about my personal journey with depression prior to my hospitalization.

Yeah, creating this video was quite the journey 😂😂 and thank you, Shika, for sharing your story 🌸. Your ability to destigmatize topics is truly empowering, and your impact on me has been immense. It's wonderful that others can now also witness this incredible aspect of you!
Thank you friend ♥️ Your editing skills are amazing 🫶🏾
Subscribed beautiful person beautiful content ❤ though you made me cry
I’m sorry 😢 that wasn’t my intention 🫂🫂🫂 thank you Lesego
Proud of your courage... not just to share, and to enter the YT world (which... by the way, congratulations on your 1st post🎊 ) or to stand up and speak for mental health, but mostly for the courage it takes to get up every day and face the diagnosis and life as a whole. May God continue to see you through it Shiks, and I know you're going to continue shining brighter and brighter to be that "sunshine ☀" for others that need it... through OT, through your story/personal testament and just by you keeping on! 🌻
Thank you Bianca ❤️❤️ God bless
Thank you so much for sharing this vulnerable part of your life friend. I loved the part of the 19 days admission versus 19 doctsor's visits...Being committed to healing and choosing yourself really requires you to be an active participant in how your story ends. Looking forward to more videos!!!!!😍🤗🤗🤗
And it forces you to rest and recharge ♥️♥️ 😁😁 thank you friend

Amazing video, Shika! KFC is my fighter too 😂❤️ Thank you for sharing your experience. What you said about 19 days of admission versus 19 appointments as an outpatient really puts things into perspective on how significant the impact of admission can be. Lovely 🌸🌸
Admissions definitely fast track things. That and lots of KFC 😂😂 Thanks friend
