This video focuses on several real teens who are struggling with some of the most common psychological problems that occur in adolescence: anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and substance abuse disorder. The main points emphasized are that although psychological disorders can interfere with having a productive life, with persistence and guidance from a mental health professional, they can be overcome. The real teens featured in the program share their personal struggles and ultimately affirm that young people can successfully manage their psychological disorders. Follow-up activities in the Teacher’s Resource Book encourage students to further explore the topic. Part of Curriculum in a Box: Mental Health.
