The teen years can be tough - on everybody. Fitting in, finding your place, feeling stuck between childhood and adulthood, wanting and needing both at the same time; it can be confusing and frightening. Compound that with a mental health issue, and it can become a dangerous situation.

You can turn to the Vista Del Mar Adolescent Inpatient Care program in Ventura, CA. This short-term, in-patient program is designed to help your teen and all of their loved ones find stabilization, safety, and structure that will restore their life’s functionality.

The Need for Adolescent Psychiatric Care Ventura, CA

In a study released in 2017, 13 percent of adolescents age 12-17 reported that they had at least one major depressive episode in the 12 months before the survey. This means they experienced five or more of the following symptoms in the same two-week period:

  1. Depressed most of the day
  2. Markedly diminished interest in all or almost all daily activities
  3. Significant weight loss or gain with no physical reason, or an increase/decrease in appetite
  4. Inability to sleep or needing/wanting to sleep all the time
  5. Psychomotor agitation (rapid movements or talking that serves no purpose) or slowing down of thought and movement)
  6. Fatigue
  7. Feelings of worthlessness and/or hopelessness
  8. Diminished concentration and/or thought process
  9. Thoughts of death or suicide

If your teen is experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to contact us about adolescent psychiatric care.
