Black Doctors Speak Podcast

Youth depression is real and recognizing the signs can make all the difference.

In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by Aisha Habeeb, a licensed master social worker, to unpack the topic: “Youth Depression: Signs Every Parent Should Know.” From emotional withdrawal to sudden behavioral changes, we explore the subtle symptoms that are often overlooked.

Aisha shares her deep experience working with youth, offering compassionate, actionable tips on how to have open, judgment-free conversations with your kids. I also open up about my own journey with depression as a teen—and how my mother’s love and support helped me through it.

Whether you’re navigating social media’s impact on mental health or looking for affordable therapy options like Medicaid or sliding-scale services, this episode is packed with resources, guidance, and hope for families everywhere.
