Adolescents are individuals ages 10-19. Youth. refers to those in the 15-2 age group. the years between late childhood and early adolescence are the most rapid and dramatic periods of physical change in human cycle.
- Adolescence is a period of transition. It is a journey from childhood to adulthood. It is marked with endings and beginnings. During transition, it is normal to experience feelings of excitement, confusion, uncertainty and even isolation
- It is a beginning because adolescents are learning new ways of being and behaving. It is also a period of awakening. It is discovering, new images of oneself, new abilities, new relationships and new insights.
Adolescents today are exposed to growing number of more diverse threats and risks than any other generation has ever been.
Abuse and mistreatment in the adolescent period - by Dr. Bozzi Domenico (Mast...dott. Domenico Bozzi
UNICEF has highlighted how children suffer violence throughout all stages of childhood and adolescence, in different contexts, and often at the hands of people they trust and interact with on a daily basis.
Violent corporal punishment, 300 million children between 2 and 4 years old in the world regularly suffer violence from their family/guardians (about 3 out of 4), 250 million of these are punished physically (about 6 out of 10).
Sexual violence, Sexual violence occurs against children of all ages: 15 million girls aged 15 to 19 have experienced incidents of sexual violence in their lives, and 2.5 million young women in 28 European countries report having suffered episodes of sexual violence before the age of 15.
Trauma Informed Care & Graduation Rates (Joseph Lavoritano)JoeLavoritano
Developmental trauma is real, and disproportionately affects children from poor neighborhoods.
Prolonged exposure to stress and trauma has a deleterious effect on the developing brain.
Moving from a "sickness model" to an "injury model" of trauma-informed care has had a positive impact on outcomes for the youth in the St. Gabriel's system.

A Case of Adolescent Depression and Attempted Suicide Emily is 15-year-old girl from a middle-class Caucasian background who had a history of depression during her childhood. She had periods of low mood, poor self-esteem, and social withdrawal. She also had symptoms of anxiety and was very reluctant to leave her home. During her year in the seventh grade, she became so fearful of going to school that she missed so many days she had to repeat the grade. She currently is in the eighth grade and has, to this point, missed a great deal of school. Her family became very concerned over Emily’s low mood and isolation, so they enrolled her in an out-patient treatment program for depression, anxiety episodes, and eating disorders. Her depression continued, and she became more isolated, lonely, and depressed and would not leave her room even for meals. One day her grandmother found her in their car in the garage with the engine running in an effort to end her life. Emily was admitted into an inpatient treatment program following her serious suicide attempt.
There is a history of psychiatric problems, particularly mood disorders, in her family. Her mother has been hospitalized on three occasions for depression. Her maternal grandfather, now deceased, was hospitalized at one time following a manic depressive episode.
In the early phases of her hospitalization, Emily underwent an extensive psychological and psychiatric evaluation. She was administered a battery of tests, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory for Adolescents (MMPI-A). She was cooperative with the evaluation and provided the assessment staff with sufficient information regarding her mood and attitudes to assist in developing a treatment program.
Emily showed many symptoms of a mood disorder in which both depression and anxiety were prominent features. The psychological evaluation indicated that she was depressed, anxious, and felt unable to deal with the school stress that her condition prompted. Moreover, her physical appearance and eating behavior suggested the strong likelihood of anorexia nervosa. Emily showed an extreme degree of social introversion on several measures and acknowledged her reticence at engaging in social interactions. The assessment psychologist concluded that her personality characteristics of social withdrawal, isolation, and difficult interpersonal relationships would likely result in her having problems in establishing a therapeutic relationship. Her treatment program involv.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

and teen mental health problems more generally
Rising rates and earlier onset
Girls: triple bind; Boys: other cultural messages
Biology and experience
Stigma and solutions
3. Initial Motivation

Summer camps; 5-, 10- and 16-year follow-up
Wider literature on girls and teen years, in general, well
beyond ADHD
Confluence of risk and protective factors during early-mid
adolescence…and in the midst of today’s cultural changes

5. Self-harm
Suicidal behavior: intent is to die
Suicidal ideation (common)
Suicide attempt (rarer)
Non-suicidal self-injurious behavior (NSSI)
No express intent to die, but to express (or ease) psychological pain
Linked to poor emotion regulation
Wide range—cuticles to cutting/burning
NOTE: Many suicide attempters have history of NSSI
NSSI may be lethal

comparison girls
Within ADHD group, maltreated subgroup more likely to show
depression and especially suicide attempts (nearly 35%)
But not externalizing behavior)

Girls with ADHD likely to be victims of intimate partner violence by early
adulthood
Guendelman et al. (2015b, Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology)
NOTE: HIGH RATES IN OUR COMPARISON PARTICIPANTS
12. Adolescence
When ‘discovered’?
1904, officially; but most cultures have recognition
When does it begin?
Puberty
Ever earlier and why
When does it end?
!!
What does it signal?
Most ‘thriving’ time of life, physically and cognitively
BUT huge increase in risk: accidents, substances, mental health
13. Adolescence 2
Psychologically:
Surge in risk taking and cognitive ‘independence’
Yet frontal lobe maturation lags far behind
Mid-late 20’s!
Physiologically:
Hormone release (hypothalamus to pituitary to glands)
But same hormones circulate back to brain, acting as ‘transmitters’:
stress vulnerability
Resculpting of adolescent brain
14. Adolescence 3: Mechanisms?
Do teens not understand risk?
No, they ‘get it’ cognitively
Increased risk-taking and delay aversion
Salience of reward, NOW
Importance of peers
Teens do risky things even if they think peers are
observing, far more than if no one there
Evolution: prepare for independence; exploration
15. Adolescence 4
Real ‘goal’—formation of identity
But how to do this?
Trying things out
Failing at some
Seeing what truly interests you
WON’T HAPPEN WELL under conditions of impossible
perfection
16. Girls: Best of Times, Worst of Times
Unprecedented success and opportunities for
girls and women today
Academic, athletic, professional, lifestyle choices
At another level, greatly increasing risks that
teenage girls face re: serious disorders
Increasing realization of rates of sexual assault , too…
17. The Best of Times...
Girls outperform boys in verbal skills, empathy, close social
relationships during early to middle childhood
Thus, girls have lower rates of psychopathology before 11
ADHD, autism, aggression, Tourette, some LD’s
Even for depression, boys have slightly higher rates before
adolescence
Girls skyrocketing re: test scores/college admissions;
unprecedented success re: professional education
‘New’ opportunities athletically
Scholarships, professional leagues (though non-equal pay)
18. Maybe it’s boys who are at greater risk
In fact, a host of recent books and recent press on the
contention that boys are disenfranchised
Boys: losing the advantage they’ve had ?
So, isn’t the crisis for slow, dull, non-socially skilled
boys?
19. 1. Major Depression
World Health Organization:
1st
or 2nd
most impairing disease on earth
Boys have a slightly higher risk before puberty
Girls’ rates skyrocket between 11 and 18 years of age
By that age, rates are 2-2.5 time those of boys, which
holds until late life
Not a true epidemic, but AGE OF ONSET lowering
From 30’s to 20’s, and now to teen years
20. What is major depression?
Not just sad mood…
But lack of motivation, poor sleep and appetite, irritability, loss of ability to
experience pleasure, negative beliefs about self, and suicidal ideation
Risk factors:
Genes (moderately heritable)
Negative parenting
Cortisol over-reactivity
Rumination
Many more
The leading contributor to suicide we know of
Bipolar disorder more virulent predictor but depression more widespread
21. 2. Suicide
Absolute rates still low, but third leading cause of death for
boys 11-24 years of age
LEADING CAUSE FOR FEMALES < 25 YEARS
(WHO, 2014)
1950-1988, rates of adolescent suicide tripled
Then, gradual decline from 1989-2004
In last decade, rates went up 76% in girls 10-14 and 32% in
girls 15-18 (not so for boys)
22. 3. NSSI
Also known as self-mutilation, parasuicidal behavior, non-
suicidal self-injury (NSSI), cutting, etc.
Little literature until last 25 years
Continuum: picking skin to severe cutting, burning, etc.
Skyrocketing in teens, with girls at highest risk
23. 4. Binge Eating
Rates of anorexia nervosa and bulimia
nervosa remain relatively low (ca. 1% each),
but precursor behaviors (dieting,
preoccupation with weight) are endemic
OVER HALF OF GIRLS IN 3RD
GRADE ARE
WORRIED ABOUT WEIGHT
A third are dieting
25. Overall prevalence:
25%-30% of girls 11 through 19
Depression
15-20%
Suicide
Completion rate low, but attempts rising
Self-Harm
At least 15%
Binge Eating
3-4% by young adulthood
Aggression/Delinquency
Self-report: 25% of girls report serious violent act
Even when overlap subtracted out, rate is 1 in 4 to 1 in 3 by
end of adolescence--higher if ‘moderate’ considered
26. Hypothesis: The Triple Bind
#1: Girls still have to be nurturing, kind, caregiving
#2: Girls must now compete, academically and athletically,
and show assertiveness and ambition
#3: Girls must conform to narrow, unrealistic standards,
effortlessly, with alternatives co-opted into
ultrafeminized/hypersexualized role models
Internalization
Learned helplessness
Pseudo-individuation/”false self”
27. More…
Relentlessness of pressure
Alternative role models
But so many co-opted; rock singers, athletes
How to develop identity and true self if you’re relentlessly
pleasing others the whole time?
Cyberculture
Never-ending instant replay, fueling rumination
28. Analogy/Metaphor
Teen girls in room full of tobacco smoke
Harmful for all, but ones with vulnerability have worst outcomes
Triple Bind is toxic culturally
The most vulnerable girls will be the ones at highest risk
as the TB “hits”—e.g.,
High-risk genes
But see most recent research on genetic vulnerability to a wide range
of mental disorders
Modeling from mood-disordered parents
Maltreatment
29. Switch of protective and risk factors
From early childhood, girls…
Have higher empathy/more prosocial; small groups
Have higher levels of verbal skills
Are more compliant with adult commands
All of these are protective vs. externalizing problems
But by early adolescence, these can be risk factors…
In presence of vulnerabilities (e.g., depressed mom, abuse)
Excessive emotional empathy becomes guilt
Compliance: overconcern with welfare of others instead of self
Verbal skills predict rumination, spiraling toward depression
Parentification/adultification
30. Mechanisms
Is the core problem “overscheduling”?
Actually, data show the opposite
Mahoney: the amount of extracurricular activities is correlated with
nearly every good outcome, esp. for low SES youth
A better candidate: “pressure”
Homework, pad extracurric’s for resume, no quality time with
parents, lack of privacy related to 24/7 media
31. Sleep
Associated factor: lack of sleep
Carskadon, Walker:
Delayed onset in puberty
Add in early school hours and social media and academic pressure
Consequence of sleep deprivation:
Inability to consolidate memory
Inability to suppress negative affect, mediated by inability of
PFC to inhibit “emotional brain”
fMRI investigations, paralleling sleep deprivation studies
32. Self-focus, sexualization
Fredrickson et al. (JPSP, 1998) swimsuit study
Randomly assign men and women to swimsuit vs. sweater
Men: pride…and better performance on complex math test
Women: shame…and worse performance on the test
Preoccupation with body, and sexualized images (“observer role”)
reduces cognitive resources
Failures taken more “to heart”
And, because girls are more socialized to please:
Empathy, here, may lead to belief that failure has let everyone down
33. Boys!
Hearing same messages as do girls
Still not the ‘power’ of all 3 prongs of TB
IF a boy is smart and good-looking and empathic…WHAT A GUY!
But if a girl is not empathic and nurturing, WHAT’S WRONG WITH HER?
34. Stigma
Hinshaw (2007), The Mark of Shame (Oxford U. Press)
Ancient Greece: Literal ‘mark of shame’
Brands placed on slaves or traitors/today: Psychological “branding”
What groups are stigmatized?
Racial minorities, sexual minorities, women, left-handers, physical
disabilities, adoptees, obese, delinquent youth, many more…
Can things change? See attitudes re: gay marriage
Thus, hope for optimism—malleability of social views
Most stigma today: mental illness, homelessness, substance abuse
Distinguish
Stereotypes (cognitive)
Prejudice (affective)
Discrimination (behavioral)
Stigma: All this plus global nature of castigation/self-fulfilling prophecies

36. Self-stigma (internalized stigma)
Nearly all members of stigmatized groups are aware of the
culture’s stereotypes/beliefs/practices
Thus, likelihood (though not certainty) that such individuals will
internalize these beliefs
Antidotes: identity, group solidarity
Double whammy: disorders themselves likely to fuel demoralization,
but self-stigma multiplies the risk
Important research findings:
Even controlling for initial levels of symptoms, self-stigma predicts (a)
lack of treatment seeking and (b) early termination from treatment
37. Courtesy Stigma
Goffman:
If society has stigmatized a given class of people, it’s common courtesy to stigmatize
those associated with such individuals, particularly family members
Parents of youth with mental disorders: Directly blamed for
offspring’s problems for decades
Even genetic transmission leaves blame on parents
Objective burden and subjective burden
Subjective burden usually experienced as worse
Mental health professionals/scientists ‘in the shadow’
38. MI Stigma is Decreasing, Right??
Actually, higher rates of violence beliefs in 2005 than 1955
US public 2.5 times more likely to believe that MI linked to violence
Involuntary commitment laws: ‘danger’ to self/others; public homelessness
No fundamental change in US stigma levels from 1995 -2005
Greater knowledge does not necessarily translate to greater empathy
Does ascription of MI to biogenetic causes reduce stigma?
Kvaale et al. (2013): yes regarding blame, but increases in pessimism
and social distance related to such attribution
Martinez, Piff, Mendoza-Denton, & Hinshaw (2011): dehumanization
39. Triple Bind: Solutions?
#1: TALK ABOUT IT
My own family history: professionally prescribed silence
Now, this isn’t always simple with teen girls, and let’s remember that
adolescence is time of identity consolidation
YET, silence is contagious
# 2: GET PROFESSIONAL HELP IF INDICATED
Low rates of help-seeking
Kessler: 10-year delay
Lack of utilization of evidence-based treatments
Back to stigma…
40. #3: CRITICAL THINKING/SELF-DISCOVERY
E.g., what’s an ad vs. what’s a news story
Do ALL girls/women actually look like this?
New avenues and pursuits, rather than right answer, first time every time
41. Maybe most important…
#4: IDENTIFICATION WITH WIDER COMMUNITY AND PURPOSE
Not always easy to do; but efforts in families, schools, communities, and
societies to foster involvement may be truly worthwhile
This is NOT the same as resume padding with multiple clubs…
42. Mealtimes, active interest,
avoiding objectification
Luthar: protective factors in suburban control samples—
Mealtimes together
The family values the teen or more than products or achievements
Avoiding criticism during every interaction
43. Larger actions?
Pass/fail courses in schools
Same-sex schools: not as protective as hoped
Modeling (do what I do, not what I say)
Parents: coming to terms with own sense of power and
powerlessness, with own sense of communication vs.
being shut off

Editor's Notes
At each time, the key goal was to appraise, via multiinformant and multimethod procedures, levels of symptomatology and adjustment/impairment in key domains of psychiatric, academic, neuropsychological, relational, and occupational functioning.
Range of negative outcomes for girls with ADHD including devastatingly high rates of suicide/self-injurious behavior, academic difficulties, relational difficulties, and neuropsych deficit. So, functional impairments in adolescence and young adulthood common in individuals with ADHD.
