Title: What’s Wrong With Your Teenager?
Topic: Kids in Crisis
Discussed by Dr. Gregory Jantz
with The Center - A Place of Hope (www.APlaceOfHope.com)

Part 1 of 2

Teenagers can be moody, unpredictable, and withdrawn.

The longer you let your teenager’s “moodiness” go unchecked, the more dangerous the road will be.

The risk of clinical depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and suicide increases drastically. But how can you, as a parent, know when to jump in and help your teen or sit back and see if they can solve the dilemma on their own?

Part 1 of 4

Am I being too negative when I say to the parents that have that still lovable teen or 'tween, that if their kid hasn’t started hating you, they will?

Is this time of transition, full of frustration and anger, a period of testing boundaries?

Part 1 of 2

Special guest Dr. Gregory Jantz answers:

What’s going on with your teenager?  Is it just the ups and downs of adolescence, or is it something more?

Is this “just a phase,” or is it clinical depression?  How do hormones affect my teen’s behavior - and what can I do about it?

How can I get help when I see the warning signs of suicidal thoughts?
