- Is your loved one having difficulty focusing on their primary responsibilities (work, school)?
- Have you noticed a change in your loved one’s friends? Or are they being secretive about who they are hanging out with?
- Do they seem lonely? Have they started to isolate themselves?
- Are your loved one’s friends having a negative influence on them? Does it appear as though your loved one is being taken advantage of?
- Has your loved one experienced any legal problems recently?
- Has your loved one’s personal hygiene diminished?
- Have you seen a loss or gain in weight in your loved one?
