About This Lesson
Teenagers can often be moody or emotional due to the physical and hormonal changes they are experiencing. On top of that, today’s teens face many day-to-day challenges — academic competition, cyber bullying, school violence, and body shaming, to name a few.
In light of these mood fluctuations and outside stressors, it can often be difficult to distinguish between “normal” moodiness and signs of a building mental issue, such as anxiety, depression, or other emotional problems. These issues, left unchecked, have the potential to spiral into a form of mental illness. Check out this guide provided by Maryville University.
