Life can be messy at times. We can get overwhelmed by everyday events, unexpected surprises-both good and not so good- and the expectations of others around us. In some cases, we're still dealing with the past and can't even begin to solve today's issues.

Mental health is part of your physical health. You cannot have one without the other. No one is exempt from facing mental health struggles at one time or another in their life. It is not uncommon during times of mental health struggles, either it be an isolated incident of panic, short-term and long-term anxiety, tragedy, situational depression, or circumstances that were out of your control that caused you to have a "new normal." Therapy will alleviate these stressors through a process of personal insight, change, and opening your eyes to a new way of seeing your life and how you react to it.

Being a parent is a joy like none other. This may however become challenging if your child (especially a teenager) battles emotional, behavioral, eating disorders, lack of confidence or addiction problems. Teenagers with these issues often argue, have hard time expressing emotions, have disruptive behavior, sudden change in eating habits and conscious of their body image. They might resort to use of alcohol or other drugs to escape struggles. This does not mean you are a bad parent; it is just a difficult time for your family. You just need someone to walk you through during this difficult time.

As said by Jim Rohn, “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” We all experience personal setbacks from time to time. Unfortunately, life does not and will never operate completely according to our own plans. When experiencing a setback or situation that requires a different approach, there is absolutely no shame in reaching out for assistance. The human spirit is one of survival and we all have the ability to persevere. It is my belief we are not defined by our weakness, personal struggles, and/or current circumstances.

Your teen looks like they have it all together, but you know deep down something is “off.” They aren’t as interested in attending school activities or hanging out with friends as they were. They avoid discussing their daily school activities. Things that hadn’t been prior issues (what to wear to school) suddenly create come-aparts. At times they are hanging on by a thread, and so are you! The anxiety causes stomach aches, and they may even suffer the occasional panic attack. As their parent, you would like to see them happy, healthy, and enjoying this season of life. However, right now, that is only happening in small doses.
