I have been having headaches and difficulty in sleeping for the past few days. I also usually have bad dreams. I hope this is not a mental health problem?

Actually, mild cases of headaches, difficulty in sleeping and nightmares cannot be really classified as mental Health problems since they could be transient. However, dramatic sleep and appetite changes or decline in personal care, rapid or dramatic shifts in emotions or depressed feelings, greater irritability as well as recent social withdrawal and loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed are the real red flags when it comes to mental health problem. Having said this, it will be a good idea for you to have a proper check up with your doctor.
