Teen mental health is on the rise - and most parents are missing the early warning signs.
In this deep conversation with Dr. Zirak Marker, child, adolescent & family psychiatrist and psychotherapist, we unpack why anxiety, depression, ADHD, bullying, screen addiction, and substance abuse are increasing in today’s youth. From the underdeveloped teenage brain to instant gratification, social media pressure, marijuana use, and overprotective parenting - this episode breaks down what’s really happening beneath the surface.
You’ll learn:
Why emotional resilience matters more than IQ
The early red flags of depression and suicidal ideation
How bullying and silent shame fuel self-harm
What screen addiction does to the teenage brain
The truth about marijuana and cognitive decline
How to build trust so your child actually talks to you
If you’re a parent, educator, or anyone working with teenagers, this conversation will change how you understand youth mental health - and how you respond to it.
Watch till the end to understand what truly protects children long-term: resilience, awareness, and early intervention.
