The Hard Truth About Parenting a Teen with Depression | EU 286
Description
Your teen locking themselves in their room, sleeping all day, and blasting "emo" playlists isn't always "just a phase." Depression in adolescents is real, common, and often missed (even in loving, supportive families.) The truth? Your kid can have "everything" and still feel nothing. In this episode, I'm breaking down the subtle signs of teen depression, why guilt and judgment shut them down, and how to respond in a way that keeps the door open instead of slamming it shut.
I'm sharing five practical, therapist-backed ways to support your teen without losing your mind or their trust: from truly listening (instead of trying to fix) to finding the right professional help before things spiral.
