Top Signs Your Teen May Need Therapy (And How to Start)

Being a parent to a teenager is hard enough without worrying if their behavior is something more than "just being a teen." So how do you know when it’s time to get help?

Here are some of the top signs your teen may benefit from therapy:

• Sudden drop in grades or loss of interest in school 🎓

• Withdrawing from family and friends 🙈

• Mood swings, irritability, or anger outbursts 💢

• Changes in eating or sleeping habits 🍽

• Talking about feeling hopeless or overwhelmed 😞

It can be scary to face these issues, but starting therapy doesn’t have to be a big, intimidating step. Many teens actually appreciate having someone to talk to who isn’t a parent or teacher.
