Episode 115 – Why are teens so sad? Dr. Marianne T. Ritchie

May 21, 2022 – 5 pm EST

On Saturday, May 21st, our host Dr. Marianne Ritchie talked with Jennifer F. Havens, MD about teens and depression.

Dr. Havens is a leading national expert in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, who pioneered the first psychiatric emergency program for children and adolescents in New York state.

When it comes to depression, people think of it as an adult problem, but numbers of cases in children and adolescents have markedly increased in recent years, even before the pandemic. Now add the challenges of COVID including social isolation.

Your Real Champion® – “Brothers Like no Others“

Mary and Jack Finley were the proud parents of five children. When their sixth child was born with Down Syndrome, they welcomed him with open arms.

Sean brought so much joy to their lives, that when he was eight years old, they adopted 12-year-old David from a group home. For Mary and Jack, life has been a beautiful experience, and they can’t imagine life without Sean and David, now ages 44 and 48.
