Teenager’s Stress, Anxiety, and Depression, by Dr Brook Shlomo

Over the past years, we have witnessed an alarming growth in stress, anxiety, and depression among teenagers triggered by increased modern life demands and higher pressure at schools. The latest COVID-19 pandemic with its movement restrictions, isolation and increased time on social media caused severe disruption to normal social interactions and made stress much worse. The book pays special attention to those as well as to

• Bullying                                
• Excessive social media use
• Bad friends
• Dating
• Teenage sex
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Teenage pregnancy
• Family conflicts
• Divorce
• Relocation

 The outcome of such growing pressure led to a higher sense of uncertainty, fear, anxiety, depression, aggressive outbursts, self-harm behaviour, suicide, and alcohol and drug misuse.

The book provides numerous tips, suggestions, and the latest psychological and pharmacological treatment modalities along with well-being and healthy lifestyle guidance such as healthy sleep, healthy eating and physical activity.  These are explained with numerous illustrations and clear explanations that provide effective tools to help teenagers and their families to cope and manage stress, anxiety, and depression more effectively.
