Child Development

F- 1 in 5 Ontario children and youth has a mental health problem.

  Thats about 500,000 children.

I-  How can a young teen realize if they have a mental health disorder?

V- I think it can be hard to realize if you have a disorder. Although as someone going through all kinds of changes as a young teen I do believe if there is something seriously wrong with them or if something feels off within themselves to themselves they would know before anyone else would.

E- About a year after I had my first daughter I got really badly depressed and it took me some time to realize that that is what it was. My mother in law was actually the one that gave my head a shake to make me see how I was acting towards everything and everyone around me. Thank god I caught it before it got too outta hand and seen a doctor. I haven't had any troubles with it since.
