    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    There are a few warning signs that you should know about that might signal it’s time to take your teenager to a counselor.

    If your teenager isn’t just moody, but she’s chronically irritable and negative, it may be time to have her see a counselor.  Other signs include rages, depression, an inability to work cooperatively, an “I don’t care attitude”, changes in sleep or eating habits. Or, perhaps she’s complained of being bullied at school or has had some recent significant losses in her life.  Any one of these is a cry for help and a valid reason for her to see a counselor.

    These days, with suicide on the rise and accidental death from attempts at self-medication, it is extremely important for parents to not wait to seek professional help.
