Understanding why my teen is Depressed

Depression in teens can be complicated. This module dives into the โ€œwhyโ€ behind your teenโ€™s struggles to help you better connect and support them.

This module dives deep into the complex factors contributing to adolescent depression. We will explore emotional changes during adolescence, the impact of external pressures, and how family dynamics can influence mental health. Armed with this understanding, parents can better support their teens and foster an environment that promotes healing.

Common Pain Points

Misinterpreting Symptoms

Parents often misinterpret signs of depression, thinking their teen's disinterest or irritability is just typical teenage behavior. This can prevent timely recognition and intervention, leaving the teen feeling isolated and unheard.

Overwhelming Expectations

Teens frequently grapple with immense pressure to meet high expectations set by parents and society. When they feel they fall short, it can lead to feelings of inadequacy and depression, creating a cycle of stress and disappointment.

Communication Barriers

Many adolescents struggle to express their feelings, making it challenging for parents to understand their emotional state. This communication gap can lead to feelings of frustration for both parties and prevent effective support.

A word from our Families

When looking for information on children’s mental health, parents can feel frantic and hasty to understand what’s happening with their child. There’s a sense of hopelessness coupled with the worry, “Is my child the only one going through this?” Dr. Maya’s calm and welcoming demeanor provides an unsaid sense of normalcy. It’s as if she’s reassuring us, โ€œHey, I’ve seen this before. We can approach these topics calmly together because I know there is light at the end of the tunnel.โ€ The “Get Started” process is super easy to use too. It feels like you’re building a recipe for the areas where your child needs help. This is the kind of information that someone would expect to have in a therapy session, so you get the experience of therapy without any requirement beyond a monthly commitment of $50. Because of this I think that Pathformers is a solid investment for parents and anyone else looking for information on child psychology.

I am so appreciative of the Pathformers initiative!! In conversations with friends who have children, we are always questioning whether some behaviors are normal, worrisome, or not. I am struck by how very little information pediatricians give to parents on mental health and what is normal for children to do and when you need to seek help. Pathformers gives us a place to turn to answer those questions. It provides families with research-based and trustworthy information to help with their kidsโ€™ mental health.
