For all you parents out there with teens……
HI…TRACEY JOHNSON HERE……
A STARTLING NEW STUDY OUT BY THE GOVERNMENT SAYS NEARLY A MILLION AND A HALF GIRLS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 12 AND 17 REPORTED A MAJOR DEPRESSIVE EPISODE IN THE PAST YEAR.
THAT’S WHEN A PERSON EXPERIENCES A PERIOD OF DEPRESSED MOOD OR LOSS OF INTEREST OR PLEASURE FOR TWO WEEKS OR LONGER......AND WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE IN FUNCTIONING, SUCH AS PROBLEMS WITH SLEEP, EATING, ENERGY, CONCENTRATION AND SELF-IMAGE.
A REPORT RELEASED BY THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, SAYS THE RISK OF DEPRESSION GROWS WITH AGE.
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH OFFERS ADVICE ON HELPING TO MANAGE THEIR DEPRESSION……
1. Get the Right Diagnosis. Help them find professional help.
2. Find the Right Doctor or Therapist. Make sure the doctor or therapist you find for your teen is someone they like and respect. Let them help!
3. Notice the Negative Thoughts. Is your teen talking failure? “I should give up. “
4. Eat Mood Boosters. Just as certain foods and drinks can lead to depression, processed white flour, sweets, caffeine, sodas-others actually lift your mood.
5. Quit the Booze
6. Sweat –INCREASE YOUR EXERCISE! Working out your stress can give you immediate relief.
7. Ask For Help. Encourage your teen to seek out a teacher that they respect.
I hope this offers some help.
