Mental Issues in Teenagers: The Unspoken Crisis Between a Chatbot and the Emergency Room

Mental issues in teenagers do not always look like a crisis. Sometimes they look like a closed bedroom door, a phone glowing in the dark, and a conversation with an AI chatbot that no parent, teacher, coach, or counselor knows is happening. Three recent research reports caught our attention because, when you put them together, they tell a troubling story. Northwestern researchers reviewed more than 5 million mental health related emergency room visits involving children ages 5 to 17 and found suicide related visits rose 74% between 2016 and 2022. Meanwhile, a JAMA Pediatrics study of 39,761 students found

Florida Calls for Comprehensive Mental Health Evaluations for Children

Mental health evaluations should do more than name a child’s symptoms. They should help families understand what could be driving the problem, what might be getting missed, and where to look next. On July 24, 2026, Florida brought healthcare, education, and behavioral health leaders together for a youth mental health roundtable (read more here). The message was clear: before major treatment decisions are made, children deserve comprehensive mental health evaluations. Genesis Brain Institute, Tampa, agrees. Florida’s call also raises an important question: What should a comprehensive mental health evaluation include now that technology allows us to gather more objective

Schools and Mental Health: How to Improve Mental Health of Students & Teachers

Schools and mental health cannot be separated when stress, anxiety and emotional struggles follow students into the classroom each morning. One child cannot sit still. Another shuts down when work feels hard. A third is quietly struggling while the teacher tries to support every student and still teach the lesson. Mental health education is important. Counseling, caring adults and medical support also have a place. However, knowing what stress is does not teach the brain how to recover from it. We teach students about physical health, then give them time to run, stretch and build strength. Why should mental

How to Get Rid of Brain Fog: Why Everything Feels Harder Than It Used To

How to get rid of brain fog is one of the most common questions people search when they no longer feel like themselves. You may still be working, caring for your family, answering emails, and getting through the day, but everything feels harder than it used to. You read the same paragraph more than once. You forget why you walked into a room. You lose words in conversation. You feel tired, foggy, slower, and frustrated because you know your brain can work better than this. Brain fog is not one single problem. It is a signal. And before you

Treatments for Mental Health Problems: Why Clearer Answers Should Come Before the Plan

Treatments for mental health problems should start with better answers. If you are searching this, you are probably not looking for a textbook answer. You are looking for help. You want to know what can work. You want to know what options exist. Most of all, you want to know why the path you or someone you love has tried has not brought enough relief. Maybe your child cannot focus, sleep, calm down, or make it through school without falling apart later. Maybe your teen seems anxious, sad, angry, numb, or withdrawn. Maybe it is you. You keep working,

How to Improve Brain Function: 7 Practical Tips

How to improve brain function is not just a question for people worried about memory loss. It is a question for busy professionals, parents, leaders, students, and high performers who want to think clearer, handle stress better, sleep deeper, and feel more like themselves again. Because when your brain is tired, overloaded, or stuck in stress, life gets harder. You may notice it at work when simple tasks take longer than they should. You may feel it at home when you snap faster, forget more, or struggle to be present with the people you love. You may even tell

Why Do I Feel Off? The Link Between Brain Health and Mental Health

Do you ask yourself, “Why do I feel off?” or are you feeling great, but want greater? You might be doing everything right. You are leading well, performing well, parenting well, competing well, and checking the boxes most people would call success. Yet something still feels like it could be better. You feel like there is another level of clarity, focus, and control that you have not fully tapped into. Or you may be in a different place entirely. You are not chasing peak performance right now. You are simply trying to feel like yourself again. Your focus feels

Christians and Mental Health: How Faith, Prayer and Brain Health Work Together

Christians and mental health is a conversation far too many people are still afraid to have. That truth was front and center during a recent presentation at the Church Safety Conference at All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Lakeland, Florida, hosted by Trinity Security Allies, where Dr. Emily Kalambaheti, Clinical Neuroscientist and Director of Rehabilitation at Genesis Brain Institute, spoke on a topic many believers feel but few say out loud. Some people sit in church every Sunday smiling on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside. They love God. They pray. They read Scripture. They try to
