Here are three suggestions mental health experts say can help those suffering from mental health issues:
心理健康专家说，以下三条建议可以帮助那些患有心理健康问题的人:
Be proactive.
A lot of anxiety for students comes from the unknown, so try to look on the bright side, "What are you excited about? What are you looking forward to?"
要积极主动。
很多学生的焦虑来自于未知因素，所以试着看到光明的（好的）一面，“你对什么感到兴奋? 你在期待什么?”
Ask about the good and the bad
Don't shy away from the hard questions, but ask yourself about the challenges you're facing. For example, you might want to ask yourself ‘What isn't going well? instead of "Why aren't you enjoying college?"
问问好的和坏的
不要回避困难的问题，而是问问自己你正在面临的挑战。例如，你可能想问自己“什么事情进展不顺?”而不是“你为什么不喜欢大学?”
Keep an eye on changing behavior
Things like changes in sleep, increased irritability, increased weight gain or changes in appetite can signal to you that there may be an underlying issue. So, early to bed and early to rise to ensure a good night sleep is the first step you can take to embrace a good day.
留意行为的变化
睡眠变化、易怒、体重增加或食欲变化等都可能暗示你可能有潜在的问题。所以，早睡早起，保证睡个好觉是你拥抱美好一天的第一步。
