The incidence of anxiety and depression in adolescents has been rising in recent years, and no wonder. There has been an increase in genuine threats to their feelings of safety and well-being.

At the same time, this generation of teens has access to information and tools to help them put their feelings into words.

This can create a disconnect between what teens are saying and what parents and health care providers are expecting to hear. Here, we share some takeaways from a conversation with Vanderbilt Health mental health experts to help young people who may be struggling with their own mental health — or their parents or caregivers who are trying to help.

Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital has once again earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade for spring 2026 from The Leapfrog Group. The independent national nonprofit organization assigns A, B, C, D or F grades to general hospitals in the United States using patient safety measures focused on errors, accidents, injuries and infections.

“This recognition highlights our great work on patient safety and clinical quality, demonstrating to our community that they can trust us with all of their health care needs from simple to complex,” said Scott McCarver, MHA, president of VWCH. “We know that every detail matters.”

Congratulations to the VWCH team! Learn more in the link in our first comment.

Why you should get a second opinion about treatment when you’re diagnosed with cancer: The second opinion may support the first doctor’s recommendation. But, because cancer treatment is changing quickly, an opinion from a second expert may identify better ways to treat your cancer. A second opinion may also give you access to clinical trials of new treatments. See the link the comments for more about second opinions.
