Teen Disorders - Troubled Kids & Teens

The following is information about some of the different disorders that are faced by many of the troubled teens that we work with. This page is meant for basic informational purposes only, not as a means for diagnosing any problems that your teenager may currently be having (actual diagnoses for troubled kids should always be done ONLY by a licensed professional.) It is not a complete list of all disorders, but rather the most common disorders present in the youth that are served by Turning Winds Academic Institutes Residential Care Facility teen program. For further understanding and information about any of the above disorders, please consult the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV-TR. We are happy to provide the information on this page in an effort to make parenting teens with problems just a little bit easier.

There are a number of different avenues for you to seek help when it comes to getting your problem teen back on track. Among all of the different alternative high schools, military-style programs, and outdoor camps that there are for you to choose from, we hope that you will take the time to consider Turning Winds Academic Institute. We are dedicated to turning the lives of problem kids around, making permanent behavior changes and setting them on a better path.
