Stress in Adolescents treatment in Mexico City

Stress in adolescents is the physical and emotional response that arises when young people face demands —academic, social, family, or personal— that they find difficult to manage. It is a common experience at this stage, although when it is intense or constant it is worth addressing.

How it may be noticed: irritability, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, withdrawal, or physical complaints such as headaches or stomachaches.

When to seek support? If the distress lasts, affects performance or relationships, or the adolescent expresses it, it is a good time to ask for guidance.

Which professional supports it? The psychologist provides tools to the adolescent and the family to understand and manage stress. Listening without minimizing and reaching out to a professional when needed makes an important difference.
