As the mom of two boys and one girl who are now 21, 18 and 16, I’ve seen up-close-and-personal how differently teenage boys and girls often react to stress.

- Irritation
- Anger
- Lashing out
Click here to read the article in Science News so you can be more informed about how to watch out for the red flags of depression in your teenage son. Depression in boys and men is often missed by medical providers, so it’s extra important for parents to have this kind of information so you can ask the right questions.
