What are the warning signs of depression in teens? When do social media and gaming habits cross the line into putting kids at risk? How can parents keep teens healthy and safe—without sledgehammering all their devices? This realistic, nonjudgmental guide from adolescent psychiatrist and parent Meredith E. Gansner provides the latest information about depression in teens, with a special focus on digital media use. Filled with vivid stories, the book helps you understand teen mental health problems and self-harm; find an accurate diagnosis; work with your child to develop healthier habits, aided by downloadable practical tools; and make informed treatment decisions. Dr. Gansner explores myths and facts about internet addiction, dangerous viral trends, and cyberbullying, and describes actionable steps for curbing them. Every chapter also identifies positive technology resources for both kids and parents, from supportive online communities to health-promoting sites and apps.
