Brain Science
101: What Every Young Adult Needs to Know (1st part of a 4-part
series)
by Jeannie Crowell
After 25 years
of working with young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety
and addiction/dependency issues, I've yet to meet one student who
didn't thank me for explaining what was going on in his or her brain
in words they could understand.
Giving students
the knowledge about what's going on in their brain provides young
adults with a sense of relief that they are not "losers,"
and that there is a logical reason behind their behavior and feelings.
It also gives them a sense of hope and ownership for changing behaviors
that don't support their well-being, as well as an understanding
of how to help themselves in an effective way.
