In this episode, Dr. McGhee shares her expertise about what parents can do to help their children struggling with mental wellness issues. She emphasizes the importance of seeking treatment when one sees signs of trouble like depression, anxiety or addiction. Dr. McGhee says mood disorders in children can often look like anger and striking out. But symptoms can also be physical, including changes in sleep and eating patterns. She urges concerned parents to trust their own instincts. And if you discover your child is suffering from some form of mental illness, seek education and assistance from trained professionals immediately.
