Thank you to everyone who joined us for PSYCH2U’s recent webinar on supporting adolescents through anxiety and depression, led by Stuart Langley. Here are some key insights and strategies discussed: 💡 Recognising Key Signs and Symptoms: Early identification is essential. Stuart covered how to distinguish between typical adolescent behaviors and concerning signs like sleep disturbances, mood changes, social withdrawal, and academic decline—symptoms that might signal the need for support. 🌍 Understanding Triggers and Influences: Family dynamics, academic pressure, and social media play significant roles in adolescent mental health. Open communication and monitoring social media use can help mitigate these pressures. 🧩 Effective Assessment Tools for Early Detection: Tools such as the DASS-Y (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales for Youth) and the Beck Depression Inventory were discussed as evidence-based measures that help assess levels of anxiety and depression in adolescents. These tools offer insights that can guide early intervention strategies and help families and providers identify when a young person may need additional support. 🤝 Collaborative Treatment Approaches: A team approach is vital. GPs, psychologists, psychiatrists, and families should work together to create a strong support network for adolescents. 💪 Strategies for Parents and Caregivers: Tips include maintaining healthy routines, encouraging physical activity, and practicing mindfulness. It’s important for parents to empower teens to take charge of their mental health and to intervene more assertively only if symptoms worsen.
