Click here Which of the following is often a warning sign of a mental health issue in an adolescent? Very angry most of the time, crying a lot or overreacting to things Often expresses feelings of worthlessness, guilt or anxiety Unable to get over a loss or death of someone All of the above On the right track. . . but you’re not done yet! Most feelings of anger are a normal reaction to some situations beyond our control. However, if it is constant, and a source cannot be identified, it could be a more serious mental health issue. You are correct. . .but keep going! Watch out for ongoing expressions of worthlessness. Self-blame and feelings of worthlessness are common symptoms of depression and may stand in the way of seeking help. Good answer Don’t stop now! People express grief differently. There is no timetable for bereavement or for its intensity. If they are stuck in their grief, it is important to help people connect with a mental health professional, or their physician. You are awesome! Mental Health Disorders are more common than many realize. Studies show that at least one in five children and adolescents have a mental health disorder.
