Mental Health Awareness: Supporting Your Teenagers
May is Mental Health Awareness month. During these unprecedented times, it is important that we are aware of mental health concerns. Some common mental health conditions include the following:
1. Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating)
2. Personality disorders (antisocial, paranoia, borderline personality disorder)
3. Addiction (alcohol, opioids, tobacco)
4. Mood disorders (major depressive disorder, bipolar disorders, cyclothymia)
5. Thought disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional)
6. Anxiety disorders (social anxiety, phobias, generalized anxiety)
7. Developmental differences (autism, ADHD)
Please take a look at this video regarding what mental health and well-being look like in high school learners.
