Approximately 42% of American adults over the age of thirty suffer from this condition, and that number is growing through barriers to access to care, coupled with increases in our ability to diganose.

If you are the parent of a teen, it may be hard to know when they are dealing with a serious health concern. Teens themselves might not understand the seriousness of some issues, as well.
