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.
