### Answer by Abbad Zaheer

Early detection of mental [health](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/311955/5-tips-for-a-healthy-pregnancy) challenges is crucial. Key signs include persistent sadness, excessive anxiety, changes in sleep or appetite, loss of interest in activities, social withdrawal, difficulty concentrating, and unexplained physical symptoms like fatigue or headaches.

If these symptoms persist for more than two weeks, consulting a mental health professional is recommended. In some cases, clinicians may use assessments like **how VNG helps in diagnosis** to evaluate neurological pathways and vestibular function, which can help guide diagnosis and early intervention.
