Resilience Decoded: What Every Parent Must Know About Teen Mental Health

Neuroscientist Dr Sujata Kelkar Shetty tackles the anxiety epidemic facing today's teenagers head-on, blending cutting-edge brain science with real-life stories and practical strategies for parents. Using the memorable metaphor of the teenage mind as a 'Ferrari brain' - high-powered but not yet fully wired for control - she explains why adolescents struggle to manage their own intensity, and what parents can actually do about it: from sleep and nutrition to setting healthy digital boundaries and having conversations that build trust instead of walls. Grounded in both research and Indian family life, the book avoids alarmism while still taking teen mental health seriously. A genuinely useful, non-preachy guide for parents of teenagers, and for anyone who works with adolescents.
