Subthreshold symptoms in mental health disorders refer to symptoms that do not meet the full criteria for a diagnosis but still cause distress or impairment. Signs of subthreshold symptoms may include mild anxiety, low mood, or occasional difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can still impact daily functioning and quality of life. It is important to address these symptoms early to prevent them from worsening or developing into a more severe mental health disorder.
Since society still has so many stigmas against "mental illness", most people will never reveal whether they were ever treated for any type of problem. No school or licensing agency has accurate statistics for how many mental health patients later become mental health therapists. However, it is well-known that many people going into "helping professions" often do so because they want to cure themselves-- or believe they can help people better than they were helped. All professions are included, whether doctors, nurses, or therapists. Some say that professionals heal from (because of) their own woundedness.

Yes and no. A teenager may exhibit traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, BUT a teenager's personality is still DEVELOPING. But just as there are teenage psychopaths who murder, there are teenage narcissists. Many teenagers exhibit narcissistic traits, but this can actually be a normal and healthy phase of growing up. After all, if they don't believe that they can be better, they might collapse into a "loser mentality." The difference shows when they start to enter adulthood. Normal teenagers who were narcissists (which are most of them) will get either bored with grandiosity or give up narcissism due to life constraints. Some others will have their narcissism evolve into an ambitious personality, which can still be a good trait. Unfortunately, a number of these teenagers (though relatively very few) will retain pathological narcissism and develop Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Stress can have a significant impact on mental health, leading to issues like anxiety, depression, and burnout. The severity of this impact can vary depending on the level of stress experienced. High levels of stress can result in severe mental health problems, such as panic attacks or PTSD. Medium levels of stress may lead to symptoms like irritability or trouble concentrating. Low levels of stress can still affect mental health, causing feelings of overwhelm or fatigue. It's important to manage stress levels to prevent negative effects on mental well-being.
