Many mental health issues emerge in adolescence and early adulthood, taking a toll on your teenager’s confidence, social development, and potential. Fortunately, with accurate diagnosis and expert, compassionate treatment, your child can recover and develop the skills they need to thrive.
Some of the common mental health issues affecting adolescents include:
Up to 32% of 13-18-year-olds have an anxiety disorder and live with distressing and persistent fears and worries. Anxiety causes a variety of mental and physical symptoms ranging from disproportionately anxious feelings and irritability to muscle tension and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Depression is another prevalent adolescent mental health issue. Teens can experience persistent and intense feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness. Your child might also withdraw socially, become irritable, and change their eating and sleeping habits.
Substance abuse often co-occurs with mental health issues. Like adults, many adolescents turn to drugs or alcohol to self-medicate—Dr. Vansiea screens for signs of substance abuse during the initial psychiatric consultation.
Teenagers are known for their unpredictable moods, so it might be challenging to tell if your child is being a normal teen or if their behavior is a sign of a mental health issue.
You know your child best. Some of the signs that they might need help include:
If your child has any of these symptoms or other signs of a mental health issue, schedule a consultation with Dr. Vansiea today.
Dr. Vansiea provides comprehensive mental health services for adolescents and their families, including:
Initial psychiatric evaluations for teens typically last 120 minutes – the first 90 minutes are spent evaluating your child alone, and the last 30 minutes are spent with you and your child together. Dr. Vansiea aims to provide individual and family psychotherapy, medication, and support to help your teenager gain insight and awareness of unhealthy risk factors and poor decision making.
It’s important to note that anything stated in your child’s initial evaluation or subsequent psychotherapy sessions is kept confidential unless they suggest that they’re planning to harm themself or others.
