Recognizing the warning signs of mental health issues in teenagers is crucial for early intervention. Signs may include frequent sadness or mood changes, alterations in eating or sleeping patterns, reluctance to attend school or work, and increased conflict with family or friends. Substance abuse and feelings of hopelessness can also arise, along with confusion, anger, or upset. Isolation and thoughts of self-harm or suicide are serious indicators that require immediate attention. Being aware of these signs can help in supporting our youth effectively.
