From ADHD and Eating Disorders to Depression, Drug Taking and Suicide, Australia's leading authority on adolescent mental health talks parents through the issues. In his down-to-earth, accessible style, he offers practical advice on how to detect early warning signs, and most importantly, advises what to do when things really are going dangerously wrong.
