Stress: We’ve all felt it. Sometimes stress can be a positive force, motivating you to perform well at your piano recital or job interview.

If you experience stress over a prolonged period of time, it could become chronic—unless you take action.www.apa.org/topics/stress/health?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=apa-stress&ut... ...

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), nearly one in five adults in the U.S. has mental illness. Despite how common mental health conditions are, not everyone knows how to identify them.Early warning signs of mental illness are often missed. Family members, friends and even doctors can overlook lesser-known symptoms as a result of stigma, lack of mental health education and diagnostic bias. This is particularly true for people that don’t fit the textbook example of what having a mental illness looks like.Early detection and intervention for mental illness is key to help a person get connected to a support system and improve long-term recovery outcomes. Especially considering that untreated mental illness can lead to both worsening symptoms and unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as substance use.Early intervention starts with being able to recognize the warning signs, especially ones that can be mistaken for other health issues. Here are five symptoms of mental illness that are often overlooked.www.nami.org/Blogs/NAMI-Blog/May-2021/Five-Warning-Signs-of-Mental-Illness-that-People-Miss?fbcli... ... See MoreSee Less

With much of school, work, and play occurring at home during the pandemic, families are spending much more time together than they normally would—posing new challenges for teen-parent relationships, already some of the most strained.Psychologists with expertise on parenting, as well as those studying family communication around race, sex, mental health, and media use, offer insights on how to improve dynamics between adolescents and their caregivers.Broadly, establishing autonomy is one of the key developmental tasks of adolescents, but the pandemic has limited opportunities to do so, for instance, by shifting adolescent learning from school to home and confining college students to their parents’ houses as many campuses remain shut down. A common challenge for families is to balance teens’ need for autonomy with other concerns, such as their safety.Here's how parents can communicate more effectively with their teens, especially while everyone is cooped up. www.apa.org/monitor/2021/06/communicating-teens-covid#counseling ...
