    Episode 8: Collaborative Care - the Future of Mental Health Management
    2025/04/30

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re the one doing all the care coordination for your child—between doctors, therapists, teachers, and insurance companies—you’re not alone. The mental health system hasn’t always made it easy. But there’s a new model that’s starting to change that: it’s called the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model, or Collaborative Care for short.

  • Episode 7: Boys, Screens, and Mental Health: Understanding the Digital Abyss

    Episode 7: Boys, Screens, and Mental Health: Understanding the Digital Abyss
    2025/04/29
    In this powerful episode of Nimble Youth, Dr. Gretchen Hoyle returns to explore how digital media, social disconnection, and untreated mental health challenges are affecting adolescent boys. The discussion zeroes in on how behavioral changes—especially in boys who seem withdrawn, anxious, or addicted to screen time—can be early indicators of deeper mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or even previously undiagnosed ADHD.Dr. Hoyle breaks down how clinicians differentiate between common behavioral concerns and diagnosable conditions using screening tools like the GAD-7, PHQ-9, and the SCARED questionnaire. She explains the layered approach to treatment, which typically begins with therapy and may include medication or even alternative interventions for more severe cases.Together, the host and Dr. Hoyle address the shortage of male role models in mental health care and why gender-matched therapy can be especially effective for boys. They also highlight how academic pressure, disrupted sleep, and social withdrawal can compound screen-related issues—and what parents can do to respond with both empathy and structure.🔍 Key Topics DiscussedAcademic Pressure & Virtual Escape: How boys overwhelmed by AP-heavy course loads may retreat into screen use as a coping mechanism.Red Flags for Parents: Withdrawal from social and family activities, school avoidance, and declining academic performance.Mental Health Screeners:GAD-7 for anxiety (score ≥10 indicates moderate to severe anxiety)PHQ-9 for depression (score ≥10 may warrant treatment)SCARED to identify anxiety subtypes (social, separation, somatic, etc.)Comorbid ADHD: Untreated ADHD in teens can contribute to worsening anxiety or depression; re-evaluation is sometimes needed in high school.Therapy First Approach: Emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy and academic coaching before turning to medication for anxiety/depression.Role of Gender-Matched Therapists: How male adolescents often benefit from therapists they can relate to and feel safe with.Medications: When needed, SSRIs like Lexapro, Zoloft, or Prozac are first-line treatments, with SNRIs as alternatives.Emerging Modalities: Brief mention of therapies like EMDR, ketamine treatment, and the collaborative care model for treatment-resistant cases.Digital Hygiene at Home: Why screen limits—especially removing phones at night—are crucial for sleep and mental well-being.Collaborative Care Preview: A look ahead at how team-based models can support families in accessing effective mental health support.🛠️ Practical Tips for ParentsRemove phones at night to prevent sleep disruption—a key factor in mental health.Monitor functional impairment, not just screen time. Is your child withdrawing socially or falling behind in school?Normalize therapy by framing it as coaching or support, especially helpful for boys who are reluctant to seek help.Ask about family history of response to medications if treatment becomes necessary.Start early if you notice behavioral changes—professional support is more effective when issues are addressed promptly.🧭 Resources MentionedGAD-7 & PHQ-9 Questionnaires – Standard tools used by clinicians for screening anxiety and depression.SCARED Questionnaire – Pediatric-specific anxiety screener used for ages 4 to 17.Of Boys and Men by Richard Reeves – Book referenced for insights into male role models and education gaps.Learn more about the Collaborative Care Model in Episode 8.📌 Episode TakeawayAdolescent boys facing anxiety, depression, or screen-related overuse deserve early and thoughtful intervention. Therapy—especially when paired with strong adult role models and supportive home practices—can help them re-engage with the real world and build healthier futures.
