Understanding and Managing Teenage Depression: A Parent's Guide

Welcome to this week's episode of Being a Parent is Hard! In this episode we focus understanding adolescent depression--what it looks like, how it's different from normal teenage moodiness and irritability, and what parents should do when they are concerned. We discuss when it's time to seek therapy, consider medication, or head to the emergency room. We also talk about the all important question, "Why now?" We share clinical insights and hands on advice as we take a deep dive into the hormonal, academic, social, and emotional pressures that collide in adolescence. Please join us!
