In episode #46, I have a lengthy discussion with Psychologist Dr. Melissa Tate-Scruse about the epidemic of mental health. We discuss, in its' basic form, what mental health is, the signs and symptoms parents and coaches should look for in kids who may be suffering from mental health issues and how to treat mental illness. Dr. Tate-Scruse offers an enlightening and thought-provoking take on why so many of our youth suffer from mental health issues. She also gives her educated opinion on how why young athletes are suffering from mental health issues and what we, as parents and coaches, can do to control those influences. During the conversation, the phone number and websites are given out for those in need of mental health services, or if you know someone in need of mental health counseling.
In the end, Dr. Tate-Scruse offers her advice to young kids and teens on what they should do if they are suffering from mental health issues.
As always, thanks for listening. Take care
