Divorce is one of life’s more stressful experiences to go through, especially when there is a lot of conflict and disagreement between the parting couple. This can have a negative effect on a person’s mental health, so it is important to watch out for signs that yours could be suffering. Symptoms of poor mental health can vary from anxiety and depression to irritability, anger, obsessing over mistakes and fatigue.
While divorce and separation will always be accompanied by feelings of sadness, regret or nerves about the future, these feelings should not be taken lightly, as they can turn into more significant problems if left unchecked. If you believe that you are experiencing symptoms of worsening mental health, consult a medical professional to help you cope with the process of divorce. The stronger you feel and the better protected your mental health is, the more straightforward you may find the process of making decisions, agreeing to settlements and finalising what will happen to joint property and the division of assets for the marriage or civil partnership.
Far more importantly, supporting and protecting your mental health is vital to ensure that you can champion and advocate for any children or dependents from the marriage. Both parties should have this aim as their top priority. Being able to focus and think more clearly will inevitably result in a better outcome for all involved.
