Common Mental Health Conditions For Teens
Many teens experience anxiety disorders, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and Panic Disorder (PTSD). Factors like academic pressure, peer pressure and hormonal changes can all lead to heightened levels of anxiety. Talk about anxiety, reduce stigma and provide resources to manage anxiety.
Depression is another common teen mental health condition. Symptoms of depression include persistent sadness, low school or work attendance, anger, changes in appetite, and difficulty concentrating. Early diagnosis, treatment, and care can have a significant impact on teens’ lives.
Eating Disorders Eating disorders are more common in teens than in adults. Girls are more likely to develop an eating disorder than any other gender. Eating disorders are caused by a number of factors, such as: Body image pressure Societal standards Distorted self-image Eating disorders can lead to a variety of health problems, including: Anorexia Bulimia Eating disorders Binge-eating disorders Eating disorders.
One of the top reasons teens abuse substances is because they’re dealing with a mental health issue or because they feel peer pressure to do so. Substance abuse is the use of substances such as drugs and alcohol (including alcohol, tobacco and marijuana), prescription drugs, and other illicit substances. By educating teens on the risks and consequences of using substances, fostering healthy communication, and expanding treatment and rehabilitation options, teens can reduce their risk of substance use.
The most common forms of self-harm, such as self-cutting, burning or self-injuring, is among the most common causes of mental health problems among teenagers. If an adolescent is struggling with severe mental health issues, they may turn to self-harm as a form of self-medication. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among teenagers, and the number of teen suicides is on the rise. To reduce the risk of teen suicide, it is important to raise awareness, reduce the stigma around suicide, and increase the availability of mental health professionals.
