Mental Health Concerns In Teens
If you are concerned about the mental health of your teen, you are not alone. Studies indicate that as many as 20% of children and teens in the US suffer the effects of mental health problems. Our technologically wonderful world seems to have left many of its young emotionally impoverished, filled with angst, void of meaning and purpose. We are learning that too much choice is as difficult for children and adolescents to deal with as is too little, and many of our children seem to be paying a high price for unlimited abundance. We are also just beginning to understand the role of genetics in mental health problems, and how the environment interacts with physiological propensities to influence the mental health of our teens.
We hope that the information provided below will help you and your teen begin to understand otherwise baffling problems. It is our desire and purpose to help you make informed decisions that will help your teen create a better life at home, in school, and among peers.
