2 of 6 - From Adolescence to Adulthood - Under Pressure Tuesday Talks have taken a turn and we at Mental Health AE are doing something new with someone new. We are excited to introduce you to our podcast series: From Adolescence to Adulthood - Understanding the Challenges and Navigating the Journey. In this series, we are joined by an expert in the field to give us valuable insights. Nokhez Usama is a neuropsychologist and is currently working as a behavioral therapist here in Dubai. She has joined the Mental Health AE team to bring insight and awareness to mental health matters. Together we have mapped out 3 part series, 2 episodes each, as well as expert guests; diving into the different themes in the journey of adolescence to adulthood. Freddie Mercury had lyrically described the pressures of living in his song ‘Under Pressure and since the 70s we all feel that these lyrics tell a tale and we at Mental Health AE think that it perfectly sums up the pressures of being a teen. In our first episode, Ali and Nokhez took a deep dive into the journey of adolescence by discussing the chemical rollercoaster, hormonal salad, and how these changes can affect behaviors. In the second episode on adolescence, we talk about the high school experience and how this shapes the next big phase in everyone's life; university. additionally, we are joined by an expert teenager; Maha Usama. She is a recent high school graduate with an unconventional story. Together with Ali and Nokhez, we discuss the pressures of choice when a teenager: university choices, gap years, performance pressures, having the ‘right’ friends, being the best kid a parent could ask for and the list goes on. But that's not it, we dig a bit deeper. Guest - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maha-usama/
