It is really hard to convince teenagers that what they are experiencing is 'normal' (In some sense) and acceptable and that they should seek treatment or help. Anything more serious than a common cold and almost none of my friends in highschool or college would seek help. Many feared it would cost too much, others thought it would label them a freak of some kind, and the rest were just too complacent (They knew something was wrong, but didn't want help, they liked feeling that way). It is a strange time, but it can set them up for a hard life.
