"My daughter used to be cheerful and full of life. But over the past year, she started spending more time alone in her room, snapping at us over small things, and losing interest in her studies. I thought it was just teenage mood swings, but soon she began skipping school and saying she felt worthless. That’s when we realized she needed help, not just patience."

Adolescence is a time of change -physically, emotionally, and socially. While mood swings and independence-seeking are part of growing up, sometimes struggles go deeper. Depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, exam stress, and risky behaviors are becoming increasingly common in teenagers. Early support can prevent these challenges from turning into long-term mental health conditions.
