Almost every teenager goes through a teenage crisis. Sometimes you may notice that your teen slams the door when she goes out, even without any reason. Sometimes you may also see that your teen’s mood is cloudy. How can you tell the difference between an existential depression and a more severe problem?\u00a0Even for specialists, it is not always easy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How Do I Know If My Child Is Having A Teenage Crisis<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Their brains are developing, very reactive emotional structures are already in place, while the cortex regions that could inhibit them are far from being mature, resulting in the crisis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Example Of Teenage Crisis<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For most young people, this is just a passage, and they are doing well.\u00a0For example, 16-year-old Bravo has loving parents, friends, good grades. \u00a0But gradually, he withdraws into himself and locks himself in his room.\u00a0So, indeed, his parents are worried. Why does Bravo lock himself in the room?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This boy was going through an existential malaise all the more acute because he thought he was the only one to ask himself these questions.\u00a0No one had told him that these questions existed for everyone at this tormented moment when one leaves the shores of childhood and parental references to face his own life.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Too many adults take with a smile the problems of the adolescents who surround them. Simultaneously, it is very complicated to face the great upheaval of the body and the head. However, vigilance is required because this can sometimes switch to more worrying disorders (depression, anxiety disorders, a school phobia).\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Definition of Teenage Crisis<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We speak of teenage crisis or, more commonly of “adolescent crisis” to designate all the troubles and complex behaviors (mood swings, defiant attitudes, opposition to parents, excessive behavior, etc.) which sometimes occur during this period of transition between childhood and adulthood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We use the notion of crisis because the passage (even from a developmental point of view) between childhood and adulthood is not linear.\u00a0Puberty brings about significant changes (bodily, hormonal, psychic, and even neurological).\u00a0This rapid change is in itself a violent phenomenon, as noted by Donald Winnicott in the 1950s.\u00a0The adolescent loses the bearings of childhood.\u00a0He can experience it painfully and express it through different expression modes around the adolescent crisis notion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Warning signs Of Adolscenet Crisis<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The pitfall would be to ”\u00a0pathologize<\/em>\u00a0”\u00a0everything.\u00a0Yet, this makes the subject delicate because questioning early on the possibility of psychosis offers a much greater chance of recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Schizophrenia and bipolarity can indeed emerge from the age of 15.\u00a0These diseases concern 1 to 2% of the general population, knowing that they are poorly evaluated in young people.\u00a0In most countries, early psychiatric diagnosis remains cautious, particularly so as not to precipitate treatment with antipsychotics, which would be inadequate.\u00a0But there are some warning signs: a total and lasting change in behavior and the feeling that something ”\u00a0really abnormal\u00a0is going on.”\u00a0If one has such doubts, the young person must be brought to consult without delay.\u00a0In taking drugs or successive sleepless nights, these psychoses, which make one lose the sense of reality, can be at the origin of suicidal behaviors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Teen Depression<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sleep disorders are one of the first signs.\u00a0Also to watch, recurring attention problems, with a drop in school results.\u00a0On the mood side, depression can manifest itself as irritability and temper tantrums.\u00a0The combination of several of these symptoms should lead to a consultation. Yes, you should immediately consult a psychotherapist if you find such a warning sign of a teenage crisis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Anxiety Disorders<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Around the age of 14, some teens experience excessive fear that can affect their future, friends, grades, and fear of failing and \/ or leaving their family. But sadly, some parents avoid this sign thinking that the time will heal. Thus, such anxiety disorder leads to a more complicated situation for the teen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Panic Disorder<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Suddenly, the teenager has trouble breathing. His head spins, and the world around him becomes unreal.\u00a0This anxiety attack lasts between 10 and 20 minutes.\u00a0This sudden episode occurs at school and also in transport, so that young people end up isolating themselves and staying at home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A School Phobia<\/strong>
Pupils without problems develop a fear of panic at the idea of \u200b\u200bgoing back to school, and one day they stop in front of their school door.\u00a0Requests for the management of school phobia are on the rise today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Outcome Of Teenage Crisis<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When our child suffers from such an adolescent crisis, the outcome is horrible to say. The 1st<\/sup> thing developed in the child is that she has no taste for anything. She is bored of everything. On the other hand, she also feels irritated to communicate with parents, family members, friends, and teachers. Besides, she has no more interest in her hobbies. She indeed becomes a person who has no liking for anyone or anything in the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
