Signs Your Teenager Needs Therapy


Irrespective of your age, city or occupation, mental health problems can crop at any time. Much like physical issues, mental health issues, too, can be cured, as long as you accept that you need help and actively seek it. Mental health counseling has become a lot more feasible and accessible in some of the major cities in recent years. What this has led to is that a lot more people are now accepting of mental health problems. However, it is still hard for some people to fathom that young kids can also face a lot of trauma. Uncured trauma on a long term can be extremely harmful, hence, it is paramount for us to understand the importance of therapy in a child’s life too. Teenagers, especially, suffer from problems that are not necessarily easy to explain. In such times, it becomes extremely important for a parent, guardian or a relative to see the signs, recognised a problem and find a therapist for the child.

While adults, thanks to life experiences, are more equipped when it comes to handling trauma or at least talking about it, kids or teenagers on the other hand, need guidance. There are tell-tale signs that your teenager needs therapy. A sudden change in behaviour is one of them. When a kid is in dire need for depression therapy, they become a lot more subdued. This becomes harder to recognised in teens who are naturally shy or quiet. Another sign is the sudden drop in grades and performances in extracurricular activities. Due to the trauma and the inability to talk about it, teens usually go in a shell. Their issues distract them which results in a drop in their performance. These are some of the signs that if you recognised a teenager is showing, bring it to the attention of others and seek help.

7 Reasons Go to Therapy

Many people wrongly assume that talking to a counseling psychologist makes you weak because of which many people hesitate to seek help in the first place. We’ll let you in on a secret – therapy targets everything and nothing, depending on what you need help with. From the most complicated mental health issues to merely expressing your day to day thoughts, therapy plays a pivoting role in helping you keep a leash on your mind and its health. Here are few reasons why you should give therapy a shot: 1.      If you experience mood swings - It is natural for your mood to fluctuate once in a while, but if it is persistent, it might be something to worry about and to dig up the root cause of the problem, for it might be a sign of a mental health issue – specifically a mood disorder.

Here’s what you can expect from depression therapy

In general, we as Indians are yet not evolved enough to fully grasp the power of therapy. In fact, we continue to look at all kinds of mental health issues with suspicion and skepticism. Unless a person has been diagnosed with a serious mental health issue, very often we don’t even consider it to be a problem. A condition that is most often overlooked in this way, is depression. We have a very harmful habit of mentally confusing depression as a mental health condition with simply being or feeling depressed. We all feel low or down from time to time and this is extremely common. However, there is a vast distinction between feeling low and undergoing depression. Depression is a persistent condition that can adversely affect an individual and it’s only through therapy, support groups and group therapy activities can a solution be found.

Family Therapy v/s Group Therapy 

Family Therapy  Family therapy encompasses the counseling given to an entire family and focuses on problems that the family faces as a whole unit and ones that affect the entire family, as well as problems that affect family members as individuals that cause problems within the family. Family counseling operates on the ideology that a family works as one big unit and each family member plays a very important, vital role in the dynamic of the family. The primary motive of family counseling is to resolve conflicts within the family and make family members more aware of the dynamics within the family as well as the pain points that cause power struggles, stress and problems within the family.  Group Therapy  Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves a larger group of people than a family and is led by trained therapists or counselors. Group therapy sessions are held on a weekly basis and specifically target individual struggles and problems that...
