Taming Adolescent Anxiety in the Era of Social Media
In this episode of Sick Health, Dr. Kevin Ban explores the intricate world of teen mental health and the often volatile, crushing, and nuanced world of adolescent anxiety and depression. In this eye-opening episode, special guest and child psychiatrist Dr. Mona Potter reveals the profound impact of both genetic predispositions and environmental factors on teen anxiety. While certain emotional experiences are still universal, growing up with anxiety in the modern world is different and can have lasting negative consequences if caregivers miss certain signals.
But breathe easy. You’re about to learn how different habits and therapeutic approaches can make a significant difference. So whether you’re the one experiencing the overwhelming pressure of teen life or the caregiver of someone who’s going through it, there is help. There is relief. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
In the next 40 minutes, you’ll learn about proven methods to quell all those sleepless nights, explosive behaviors, feelings of hopelessness, mood swings, and so much more.
