Adolescence and Mood Disorders
How to Help Teenagers
Adolescence is one of the most complex phases of life, during which mood disorders can afflict young people’s lives. Anne, Stephen and Camille are some of the teenagers we learn about in this book, and what happened to them could be experienced in any family. Listening to children and observing them carefully means learning to welcome both their suffering and ours. Only with this sort of open attitude, along with the guidance of physicians and psychologists, will we be able to develop an effective therapeutic approach, draw youths out of their pathology and restore their lives.
