Teenage Mental Health: Navigating Challenges with Hope at UBH Denton

Inpatient and Outpatient Care For Teens

Adolescence is a time of major changes, pressures and uncertainties, making it crucial for teens to receive the right support and intervention for their mental health.

UBH Denton provides comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services for adolescents aged 13-17, addressing mental health, trauma and co-occurring disorders. We also extend our treatment services to children who are 12 and in seventh grade and teenagers who are 18 and still in high school. Our focus extends beyond the individual, offering families full educational case management and educational options.

Why Teens Struggle: A Complex Journey

Being a teenager is inherently stressful. The pressure of academics, concerns about the future and the complexities of social dynamics can be overwhelming. Add to that the significant physical and neurological changes during adolescence, and it’s clear that teens often need additional help and guidance to navigate this challenging period.

Signs Your Teen Might Need Help

Recognizing signs that your teen may be struggling is crucial for early intervention. Some common indicators include:

• Major changes in sleeping and/or eating habits
• Mood swings and uncontrollable outbursts
• Persistent feelings of depression or disinterest in normal activities
• Self-injury or harming others
• Academic decline or withdrawal from activities
• Hearing voices or experiencing abnormal thoughts
• Substance abuse or addictive behaviors (social media, etc.)
• Difficulty concentrating and challenges following rules
• Low self-esteem or grandiose behaviors
• Hallucinations or major weight changes

If you observe any of these signs in your teen, don’t hesitate to call UBH Denton at 940-320-8100 for a confidential, no-cost assessment. Our dedicated team is here to support you through this journey.
