PSYCHOLOGICAL ILLNESS AND TEENAGERS

Psychological illness is very common in today’s era, and especially among teenagers. Depression,

anxiety, personality disorders, and a lot more are common. More than 50% of teenagers are a

victim of mental illness. The question arises that “What is psychological health?”

It is a general misconception that only psychological illness is reflected in the form of disability.

This is not the case. Any unusual or unexpected response from an individual to very common

activities is said to be “psychological illness.” For example, a boy/girl might show aggression over

a casual debate at his place. Psychological illness is damaging our youth and the major reasons

behind such illnesses are parental involvement, addictions, and traumas that might be due to any

reason.

There are several solutions to this problem among which the following three can be very easily

implemented. Firstly, individuals must be more active by doing exercise. They should get enough

sleep and have a balanced diet. Their stress must be reduced. Exercise helps in better hormonal

secretions that help in reducing stress and anxiety. It also helps in quitting addictions which most

teenagers adopt due to low morale.

Secondly, parents should be better involved in their child’s life. It is the utmost duty of parents to

help their children in facing all the problems with courage rather than leaving them on their own

in such a crucial situation. They should help their child in quitting all sorts of addictions. Generally,

teenagers find drugs very attractive and a symbol of classiness. Some parents do not focus on their

children at all and some parents are over-involved that annoys children.

Thirdly, parents should cut off the communication gap. They should talk to their children about

their life. If a teen is in depression, it is the duty of parents to talk to them because talking about

the problem releases stress and helps in coming back to life.

Teenage is a very crucial phase of life and its handling is similar to that of a fragile good. The

above-stated solutions will help you in handling a depressed teenager. The solutions have no tough

schedule. It is all a matter of time. The solutions have worked for a relative of mine and I hope that

these solutions will help you too.
