Now a days adolescent girls suffer from many problems,like
1. Lack of time from working parents
2. Being a single child with no brother or sister
3. Bullying in school
4. Average merit and tension for career and many more
How can they overcome such problems?
I met a girl, who is severely suffering from headache and doctors told the reason is depression.
What will be the remedy?
In that age, such a depression signifies a developmental problem and can be overcome by love, compassion and connecting to a competent spiritual mentor or psychotherapeutic expert. Some professional help will be required; it is not a task for amateurs.
Professional, willing to listen, without prejudice or ideologic slant. Minimal guidance initially, just listen. Go from there, issues may be profoundly damaging. For parents, adults generally about the 'modern uncivilized world', one can recommend Jordan Petersons: 12 Rules of life. There is also an ABC podcast about the author, a clinical Psychologist from Canada for those interested.
One needs to work with a lot of patience giving unconditional support to the girl. Listening is very important because more than likely she has not been heard and her concerns have not been addressed. One needs to create a safe place where the girl can express freely both her emotions and thoughts and does not feel judged. If she had suffered some form of trauma and is experiencing PTSD, professional help must be sought. A thorough assessment of her situation is first necessary that includes presenting problems, what coping mechanisms/strengths the girl has and has tried, her support system including family, friends, schoolmates, religious institutions, etc. A suicide risk assessment must be conducted. The girl may also be encouraged to maintain a diary or journal which can be used in therapy sessions which may incorporate a milieu of therapy options.
