Teens in Crisis: Unpacking the Long-Term Impact of Depression and Anxiety

Right now they're saying one in three adolescents would actually get the diagnosis of anxiety. As much as we're talking about the kids and maybe parents or the coaches, the counselors and the support staff probably have been going through a lot too and may yet go through a lot, I suppose.
What happens when a generation of teens faces unprecedented mental health challenges? In this compelling episode of 'On Your Radar', host John Williams sits down with Rosecrance Regional President Carlene Cardosi, LCSW, CADC, and Rosecrance Unit Coordinator Sanda Knezevic, CADC, to explore the long-term behavioral health implications of teen depression and anxiety. The pandemic has cast a long shadow over adolescent mental health, exacerbating issues that were already on the rise.
This episode digs into how these unique circumstances have reshaped the mental health landscape for teens. From the vital role of family support to the often-overlooked struggles parents and caregivers face, this conversation covers it all. Schools and educators also come under the spotlight as key players in supporting adolescent mental health. The discussion doesn't stop there; it also highlights the benefits of telehealth as a tool for providing much-needed mental health support to teens.
And let's not forget the importance of offering robust support to counselors and mental health staff who are on the front lines. If you're a parent, educator, or anyone concerned about youth mental health, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical advice to help navigate these challenging times.
