The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, frightening hallucinations, thoughts of suicide, or hearing "voices".Or they may be more long-term, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiousness that never seem to lift or problems functioning, causing everyday life to feel distorted or out of control.
