Manage your anxiety and depression, and take charge of your life with this fun and engaging workbook.
As a teen, you're going through a lot. School is becoming more challenging, your friendships and other relationships are more complicated, and your emotions may feel overwhelming at times. And while every teen has a passing case of "the blues" when a friendship hits a bump or an exam doesn't go well, if you're a teen with anxiety and depression, you need real tools to help you manage your symptoms--so you can get back to what matters.
In The Anxiety and Depression Workbook for Teens, you'll find straightforward and easy-to-implement cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills to help you stay one step ahead of your symptoms, connect with friends, try new things, bounce back from setbacks, and start feeling better right away. You'll learn all about where your symptoms come from, how to identify situations that can make your symptoms worse, and how to break the thinking habits that keep you feeling stuck in life.
The life of a teenager can be tough. If you have feelings of sadness and worry that feel overwhelming or keep you from reaching your goals, the skills and activities in this workbook can help you find peace and take control of your life!
