HELP WITH HEALTH

Emotional

How do you even know you have a problem?

You know you have a problem if you notice that you feel and react to situations more dramatically than your peers. Many teenagers keep problems to themselves. If the problems continue, they may begin to think that they're just not normal and there's nothing they can do about it. This usually makes the problem worse.

In reality, there are a lot of physical problems that can explain emotional problems. This is especially true for teenagers, who many times have hormonal imbalances.

By talking about your problems to others, you can find out about help. If the problem is health related, most times there are medicines that can help make your symptoms go away or at least get better.
