Episode 1329
Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss how many teens today silently struggle with anxiety, depression and loneliness, often due to overwhelming cultural pressures and a lack of meaningful connection. Mark urges parents to recognize the signs — withdrawal, irritability or substance use — and not dismiss them as just a “phase.” He emphasizes the importance of creating a peaceful home environment, engaging in regular conversations and being an active, empathetic presence in a teen’s life. When something feels off, parents should seek help early.
