What’s normal teen behavior? When is it time to get help?
Parents often wonder how to tell the difference between typical teenage behaviors and warning signs of serious problems.
It’s wise to be alert. Three-quarters of mental illnesses begin by age 24. Although teens may look mature, their brains aren’t fully adult until sometime in their 20s. During this final development, they are more vulnerable to mental illness and addiction.
Teens have the best chance of enjoying a satisfying and productive life when mental health conditions are diagnosed and treated early.
