How common are mental health conditions in teenagers? How can depression look different in a child compared to an adult? And how are scientists using brain imaging studies to better understand conditions like schizophrenia?  

In this episode of How We’re Wired, join producer Dr Eva Higginbotham as she looks at mental health in children and young adults, from important risk factors to mechanisms of anxiety.

With special thanks to Ben Jacobs and Daniel Dickstein.
