With Dr. Jantz’s help they can stop worrying about the turbulence of adolescence and take action.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

He’s in his room for days at a time and barely responds when I talk to him.... She’s teary every day, one minute demanding I tend to her needs and the next minute demanding I leave her alone.... What’s going on with your teenager? Is it just the ups and downs of adolescence, or is it something more? Depression has the ability to derail a teenager’s progress toward healthy adulthood—and confuse and frustrate you. With years of experience, Dr. Gregg Jantz will answer your hardest questions about this critical season in your child’s life: 

• Is this “just a phase,” or is it clinical depression?
• How do hormones affect my teen’s behavior—and what can I do about it?
• How can I get help when I see the warning signs of suicidal thoughts?
• Why does my teenager seem to need me some days and hate me other days?
• How can I be a source of peace in my child’s life, especially when I feel stormy too?

 This book will help you see beyond the closed-room years of adolesence and open the door to hope.
