Content: Therefore, teens often have fewer chances to build resilience. Thus, they don’t learn how to cope with challenges. A brain that’s still growing: The prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that controls self-regulation, is not fully developed in teens. Thus, they have a limited ability to exert control over their impulses. Consequently, this leads to teenage risk behaviors, such as substance abuse and unsafe sexual choices, which can negatively impact teen mental health. Nature deficit disorder: Today’s adolescents spend so much time doing homework and on screens that they don’t get outside nearly enough. Nature deficit disorder is a phrase coined by Richard Louv in his 2005 book Last Child in the Woods. It refers to the fact that human beings, especially children, are spending less time outdoors, resulting in a wide range of behavioral and mental health problems, including depression.
