Is depression Changing your Teenager?
Dealing with teen depression can feel like wandering through a maze with no clear path. It’s that sinking feeling in your teenager’s chest that just won’t go away, like a storm cloud hanging over even the brightest moments. Your teen might find themselves lost in a sea of emotions – sadness, confusion, and frustration – and it can be hard to put those feelings into words. Friends and family might not fully grasp what they’re going through, leaving them feeling isolated.
Imagine waking up each day with a heaviness that’s hard to shake. It’s like their favorite song playing in a minor key, and the things that used to bring joy now seem distant. School, hobbies, and even spending time with loved ones might lose their luster. Your teen could be grappling with thoughts that seem overwhelming, leaving them in a constant tug-of-war with their own mind.
