Teenagers

  • If you have a teenager who’s even more moody than usual, you’re not alone. In a study this spring, nearly half of parents surveyed reported that their teenage children’s mental health suffered during the pandemic. Teenagers are feeling angrier, more depressed and more anxious. And as restrictions are lifted, some will need support to find their footing again.

    This week on childmind.org we offer a new article on what parents can do to help teens manage anger. And we take a look at some of the common mental health challenges teens face, and how to treat them. We explore how substance use can affect mental health issues. And because struggling teens can be reluctant to get help, we offer advice on understanding where they’re coming from and encouraging them to buy into treatment.
