Unexpected outcomes in mental health interventions for teenagers
Mental health interventions like CBT and DBT skills did not benefit teenagers as expected, but rather led to worse outcomes in terms of depression, anxiety, and relationships with parents. This negative impact persisted even after six months of follow-up. Similar failures were observed in studies involving mindfulness training for teenagers, indicating a significant challenge in implementing such interventions effectively for this age group.
