What Causes Mood Swings And Unhappiness In An Adolescent?

I have a eighteen year old daughter. Her mom and I went through a divorce when she was eight. Since then she did not want me to hug her or get to close to her. It still is that way with her mom and me and her moms husband. She seems to be happy most of the time but her mood can change quickly. She pretty much stays her room when she is with me or her mom. She has lots of friends and a boyfriend and seems to be happy when she is with them. We can have good conversations. When I asked her if she feels angry at her mom and me for the divorce she says no. But I still can t help thinking that there is some deep rooted hurt or something unresolved in her because of the divorce. I don t know if this provides enough info. What do you think

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

In a descent age there are lot of physical &psychological changes in the girl's life; which makes her a bit unsteady & more sensitive.

This would improve as she gets the phase of life finished. At this stage she needs assurance &psychological support.

You seem to concerned about your child. Try to passing her without disturbing her emotions. Timely counseling by a therapist or her friend's company would help her.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
