New findings on depressive symptoms in Chinese youth
SF State psychologist Linda Juang found in her latest study that Chinese American teenagers who are adjusting to U.S. culture at a different rate than their parents are more likely to suffer symptoms of depression. The study examines how different generations’ attitudes toward parenting affect the mental health of teenagers and find a wide variation of attitudes between parents and children which means that practitioners and counselors need to look at the pair to understand mental health problems in Chinese American teenagers.
