Sometimes you have to fix the system rather than all of the parts.
When your teenager acts out, it's easy to point fingers and label them as the problem. But what if they're actually showing signs of a deeper issue within the family? In this episode of 'Counseling On Demand', Dr. Fred Riley and guest Derek Overstreet challenge the common misconceptions around teenage behavior. They dive into how labels like oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder can sometimes miss the mark, focusing instead on the bigger picture of family dynamics. Dr.
Riley shares how irritability in teens is often misinterpreted as disrespect or rebellion when it might be a sign of depression. This episode offers valuable advice for parents struggling to understand their teen's emotions and actions. By looking beyond surface-level behaviors, families can work together to identify and address underlying issues. If you're a parent feeling lost in the whirlwind of teenage angst, this conversation could provide the clarity and direction you need.
