Did you know that 1 in 5 South African teens struggles with depression, anxiety, or emotional distress? 😔 Life at school, social pressures, and family challenges can take a heavy toll, and many teens don’t get the help they need.
💡 Signs to watch for:
- Persistent sadness or irritability
- Withdrawal from friends or activities
- Changes in sleep, appetite, or school performance
- Excessive worry or panic
🌱 What you can do:
- Listen without judgment, sometimes talking helps more than advice
- Encourage healthy routines, like sleep, exercise, and hobbies
- Reach out for professional support early. Together, we can make mental health a priority and help teens thrive! 💛
