According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 49.5% of adolescents aged 13-18 experience a mental health disorder in their lifetime. This translates to about 1 in 2 teenagers. That is a sobering and staggering statistic.

With so many of our teens struggling, I invited Dr. Zendi to give us some advice. She is a pediatric, functional medicine and mental health expert with a lot of experience working with teens. Her functional medicine, holistic approach is really fascinating and I think the approach of the future. We talk about:

WHY so many kids are struggling
How to notice signs of mental health struggles in our teens
When to seek professional help
The difference between anxiety and depression
Why mental health should be treated holistically
How to approach mental health holistically
What a functional medicine mental health visit looks like
Habits and lifestyle factors that will help our teens be mentally healthy
And more!
