Many teens struggle with their mental health. When addicted to drugs or alcohol this can worsen severely. Mental illness in teenagers and young adults is a lot more common than most people think. It is best to get teens help while they are still young rather than let them suffer until they are an adult. Some of the reasons teens get depression or have mental illness start from traumatic experiences such as death in the family, having a long-term illness, moving, changing schools, bullies at school, family pressures, and drug addiction. Many types of mental illnesses in teens can be treatable, and it’s just a matter of pinpointing the correct diagnosis.

If you suspect that your teen is struggling with their mental health and wellness, there are a few ways to help.

• Get enough sleep
• Become more physically active
• Reduce the time spent on social media/internet
• Give your child unconditional love, attention, and support
• Relax and reduce stress
• Find ways to learn and be creative
• Spend time in nature
• Connect with others
• Look after your physical health

Treatment for addiction and mental illness in adolescents and teens usually requires a more long-term inpatient stay. Care in an inpatient drug rehab for teens may include individual, group, and family counseling behavior therapy, and medical services. These rehab centers may also have special education; services and recreation therapy.
