Q&A: My 13 Yr Old Daughter Is Struggling With Anxiety and Mood Issues, What Can I Do?

Welcome to the first of many Q & A episodes where I answer your questions!

Our first question is from Gina,

“My 13-year-old daughter is struggling with anxiety and mood issues. It seems to be worse the past year and a half. She seems to be anxious about school work, her relationship with her friend, and bad things happening to us (her parents). She’s spending a lot of time in her room, has decided not to eat meat, and seems tired and out of touch. She saw a counselor before COVID and seemed to find that helpful. What should I do?“

In the episode, I break down some observations and helpful tips into these categories normal teen behavior, anxiety symptoms and triggers, sleep, nutrition, and counseling. These kinds of questions are very common in my practice and so I think this episode will resonate well with parents of tweens and teens. Tune in each week for more Q & A episodes!
