What are the Warning Signs that a Teen May be Struggling with Mental Health Issues?
Teenage years can be difficult. With changing bodies and hormones, it can often be challenging to identify a severe mental health problem when natural mood and behaviors take effect during these particular years. However, that doesn’t mean that mental health issues are impossible to identify – as long as you understand which signs and symptoms to look out for, and when to know that a low mood may be something more.
- Exhaustion or fatigue. Tiredness is natural, especially in teens who have busy lifestyles. When tiredness moves into constant exhaustion or fatigue, however, no matter how many hours of sleep the teen is getting, this could be a sign of mental health issues, including if the teen appears to be oversleeping or constantly in bed.
- Anger or irritability. Teens struggling with mental health issues may be more prone to irritability and quick to anger. A significant red flag is if they are suddenly more angry and irritable with no obvious environmental cause or reason.
- Inability to concentrate. Those struggling with mental health issues may find that they no longer find joy in activities and pastimes, or are unable to concentrate on anything in their daily life. They may be easily distracted and unable to focus.
- Constant worrying. A highly significant sign of anxiety issues, constant worrying shows that a teen may be battling with issues of anxiety on a variety of levels. This could be a case of worrying over large issues or may even be anxiety about the smallest thing.
- Substance abuse. The teen may have clear habits of substance abuse, whether drugs or alcohol.
- Addictive behavior. Addiction can apply to anything, whether this is substances, social media, gaming, or even illegal gambling.
Warning signs will naturally differ depending on the mental health issue in question, but these are general symptoms that can be attributed to most issues, particularly depression and anxiety.
