TEEN MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT
It has been noted, that one teen out of every five teenagers has a diagnosable mental health disorder, in the United States.
It can, therefore, be somewhat challenging to detect a mental illness in a young person. Additionally, there are a number of different types of mental health disorders that can affect a teenager. The signs and symptoms will vary depending on the specific type of mental health disorder as well as each individual teenager, but below are some examples to look out for:
Lowered energy levels, Changes in eating habits, Difficulty sleeping or insomnia, Social withdrawal, Irritability, Anger, Sudden loss of interest in hobbies, Agitation, Social isolation, Significant mood swings.
We focus on identifying and treating the core issues that impact teens and their families. Instead of using treatment modalities that focus on altering behaviors through punitive approaches we search for, identify and treat the underlying mental or emotional health issues. We do this by utilizing a variety of techniques including; individual therapy, group therapy, educational groups, schooling, social activities, family therapy and many others. By doing so, we believe that we can help young people and their families make positive changes that they can both internalize and incorporate back into their lives at home.
