Why psychiatric illness strikes young (and what to do about it)
Manage episode 351018658 series 2632503
Most medical illnesses appear later in life, as organ systems fail and the decades of wear and tear eventually erode the body's innate homeostatic mechanisms. Psychiatric illness, however, is profoundly different. Here Dr. H explores six central reasons why serious psychiatric illness tends to appear in mid to late adolescence.
These factors include:
•Leaving the tribe
•Contagion and heightened peer influence
•Early existential life crises
•Developmental brain changes
•Sleep deprivation and sleep cycle derangement
•Cannabis and alcohol
