With increasing suicide rates among 10-14 and 25-34-year-olds in the U.S., Consultant Psychiatrist Dr. Chenelle Joseph urges parents to pay closer attention to their children’s mental health.
She points out warning signs like mentions of suicide, withdrawal from family, and self-harm, particularly cutting, which is common among teenage girls.
Dr. Joseph advises parents to look for unexplained scars and behavioral changes, stressing the importance of addressing these issues at home and in schools.
