Gifted teens experience depression at a higher than normal rate - and this can severely impact not only their development, but their social and emotional well-being. Proper supports in school and at home are critical.

Having high sensitivity makes #gifted individuals especially susceptible to mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. Sound familiar?

Depression is common among the gifted. It may feel as though no one can help or even understand, but you are not alone. Proper social and emotional supports for the gifted are critical.

It can difficult for gifted kids to find friends and peers. Many of them seek understanding in the world of fiction, becoming deeply attached to certain characters to whom they can relate.

A lot of gifted and 2e adults were never identified or put in accelerated courses as children. But this doesn’t mean you are “less gifted!” Every gifted experience is unique.

Gifted individuals may say yes to everything because they are afraid of disappointing people. This can lead to a lot of anxiety and stress. Keep in mind your limitations and know that it's OK to sometimes say no.
