The Blame Game: To Blame or Not To Blame Myself for My Child's Mental Health

Would love to hear from you! Send me a message.

It was World Mental Health Awareness Day last Oct. 10! And aligned with this month's awareness campaign, I hope this episode, the last one, and the next two will somehow  help the World Health Organization (WHO) “raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health” one podcast at a time.

Some statistics reported by WHO include: 

• Globally, one in seven 10-19-year-olds experiences a mental disorder,...
• Depression, anxiety and behavioral disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents.
• Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29 year-olds.
• …failing to address adolescent mental health conditions extend to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults.

(SOURCE: Mental Health of Adolescents)

Once we are aware of what could be happening in our family, what do we do next? Who gets to blame, who gets the blame? 

Hope this episode helps us all be aware and be proactive.
