Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi, thanks for the query. Teenage years are years of great physical change, emotional turmoil. We do tend to feel isolated, at times unable to share, vent out feelings & find a sense of connect especially with elders. Hence, these emotional outbursts can occur often & may become disabling. A simple advice is create a support group of dedicated friends, family members to whom you feel close. Secondly consult a Psychologist/Psychiatrist where you can discuss your troubled areas of life, learn mindfulness techniques, cognitive behavior therapy sessions etc. which teach a person to learn to live in present, achieve greater mental stability, greater control over emotions. Lastly, too many times depressive illness in youngsters presents itself as increased irritability, crying spells, rebellious behaviors etc. hence a Psychiatric assessment & treatment if required shall help you get back to normal life soon. Good Luck
