Have you ever felt the need to take a day off school because of high stress and anxiety levels? Studies have shown that teenagers have recently shown an increase in stress, depression, and anxiety levels. This can lead to poor school performance.

Evil vs Mentally Ill Do you ever wonder why people do evil things or what the circumstances are that can affect this cruel behavior?

The understanding and evaluating the actual need of the client can be difficult and frustrating for the case manager, the client, and possibly the client’s guardians/family. This is because a client may fluctuate in needs or one environment may start out positive and end up not working out.
