Teen’s Mental Health | Where to get Help| Orlando Counselor
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the U.S. Surgeon General Murthy, symptoms of both anxiety and depression have doubled during this time with about 25% of the youth experiencing depressive symptoms and about 20% experiencing symptoms of anxiety. There has also been a rise in symptoms associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). On the brighter side, mental disorders are easy to prevent and treat.

- Changes in eating and/or sleeping habits
- Substance abuse
