Warning Signs of Mental Health Issues in Adolescents

While the signs and symptoms of mental health issues can be present in people of all ages, adolescents often struggle with similar issues that can reveal mental health concerns. Some of these include:

  • Lack of interest in activities that they previously enjoyed
  • A change in personality, whether that be irritability and anger or even sadness and depression
  • Withdrawing socially, such as no longer wishing to spend time with their friends and social isolation
  • Bad decision making and risk taking behaviors
  • Academic performance issues, including slipping grades or skipping classes
  • Suicidal thoughts or talking about suicide or self-harm

Common Mental Health Conditions in Teens

Some of the common mental health disorders in adolescents are:

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Mood disorders
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Depression

All of these conditions are treatable with therapy and sometimes medication, and research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that treatment can help your loved one manage these issues moving forward.
