And what they may cause:

Depressed teens often experience emotional pain, but may not know how to cope or what to do. This might cause symptoms of negative self-talk, fatigue, anger, irritability, withdrawal from friends and family, and sleeping too much or not enough. The causes can include trauma, bullying, stress, biochemical imbalances, or genetic predisposition to depression. Untreated depression can lead to other serious problems, such as drinking, behavior problems, and medical issues.

Aggressive behavior, problems at school, problems with peers, easily getting annoyed or nervous, refusing to follow rules or questioning authority, having difficulty in handling frustration may be symptoms of more serious problems.

Whether it’s the pressures of a social life or concerns about school exams, stress can take a toll on our teenagers. All teens experience some amount of stress, but many teens suffer significant levels that might start to affect their relationships, learning, and other areas.

Emotional, physical, behavioral, and cognitive changes can develop.

Regrettably, teens might be introduced to alcohol and pills at this stage of life. Teens who over consume alcohol and pills may have a greater risk of developing an issue when they are adults. Common pills that teenagers over use include Marijuana, Synthetic Marijuana, prescription pills RX (Adderall, Opioids, and Benzodiazepines), or over the counter medications, Inhalants, Methamphetamines, Cocaine, Ecstacy and Anabolic Steroids.
