During adolescence, there's a substantial focus on peer classes and producing independence separate from the adults in their lives. Furthermore, this period of growth can be related to an increase in mental health problems due to the rapid speed of developmental alterations. As teens encounter physical, psychological, and social adjustments, some can experience low-self-esteem, struggle in creating their own sense of individuality, confusion, and feelings of isolation from peers. A lot of the time, gastrointestinal and nervous symptoms present themselves in addition to low mood, irritability, and keeping to oneself. For instance, you may notice your adolescent with trouble creating and/or maintaining peer relationships and increasing withdrawal from social chances.

Have you tried having a conversation with your adolescent and whatever you say is obviously incorrect, however when their friend says it, they listen? While it's frustrating, it's totally normal and speaks to the focus and importance they place on peer associations. It can even happen in individual therapy (another mature ), so group treatment can be a great alternative because it fosters what adolescents are already striving for - independence from adults and a sense of connection with others.
