With our teens we must have more compassion and understanding that being a teenager now is very challenging. Honoring that, listening to our teens, allowing them to express all the ugly that is going on in their brain is a good way to show support.
For someone who is bipolar, or ADHD, has anxiety disorders or depression and those on the spectrum it is a LIFELONG condition and will not just get better soon. It requires ongoing support and sometimes medical intervention to remain stable.
Can we stop telling people with chronic depression that โit will get better soonโ or โitโs temporaryโ especially to our teens? These statements, while nice for the person who says them, most of the time minimize the experience of the person who is living with it.
