Understanding Teen Mental Health Challenges
Adolescence is a time of big changes whether they be emotional, cognitive or social. Teens are adjusting and learning to navigate new responsibilities, changing relationships with family and friends and trying to also figure out who they are. These changes can often feel over whelming and can cause some mental health concerns such as:
- Mood swings or sadness
- Distancing themselves from family or friends
- Decrease effort in school
- Changes in sleep or appetite
- Irritability or anger episodes
- Anxiety or overwhelming worry
- Self-harm or talk of self-injury
- Risky behaviors such as substance use or abuse
If you feel your teen is experiencing any of the above issues, therapeutic support can help improve their moods and reduce any further distress. Read more about adolescent mental health support and early intervention on our website.
