Newswise — Dr. Madhukar Trivedi from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center highlights the need to notice small changes in behavior, mood, and daily activities that might signal the start of depression or other mental health issues. By teaching parents, teachers, and healthcare providers about these early signs, Dr. Trivedi hopes to give them the tools to step in early and offer the right support to young people who might be at risk.
