🧠 Understanding Mood Disorders in Teens 🩺

As doctors, we see firsthand how many teenagers silently struggle with their mental health—especially mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder. These aren’t just “teenage mood swings” or a “phase.” They are real, diagnosable conditions that deserve understanding, support, and proper care.

📉 Signs to look out for:
* Persistent sadness or irritability
* Withdrawal from friends or activities
* Changes in sleep or appetite
* Low energy or fatigue
* Trouble concentrating
* Thoughts of self-harm or hopelessness

If you’re a parent, teacher, or caregiver, know that your support can make all the difference. Listen without judgment. Validate their feelings. And most importantly, don’t hesitate to seek professional help.

🧩 Early intervention can change the course of a teen’s life—for the better.

🌱 Let’s Talk About Teen Anxiety 🌱

Teen anxiety is real — and it’s more common than many people think.

Between academic pressure, social media, friendships, family expectations, and the constant changes of growing up, today’s teens are carrying a lot. Anxiety can show up as more than just worry. It might look like:

* Avoiding school or social events
* Irritability or mood swings
* Trouble sleeping
* Perfectionism
* Physical symptoms like headaches or stomachaches

To any teens reading this: You’re not alone. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Talking to someone — a parent, a teacher, a counselor, a friend — is a strong and brave first step. There is help, and there is hope. 💛

To the parents and adults: Let’s listen more, judge less, and make space for conversations that matter. Ask how they’re really doing — and be ready to hear the answer without trying to “fix” everything.

Mental health matters at every age. Let’s keep supporting, learning, and being there for each other. ✨

Reach out to Dr. Yolande le Roux and Dr. Liezl Otto today for an appointment and that very much needed extra support and understanding.

*We offer an affordable consultation option if your medical aid has been exhausted.

🌟 TEENS: Want Clear, Healthy Skin? Let’s Talk! 🌟

Hey teens (and parents)! 👋 We see a lot of young patients struggling with breakouts, oily skin, or dryness—and trust us, you’re not alone.

Hormones, stress, diet, and even screen time can affect your skin. But the good news? You can take simple steps to get clearer, healthier skin — starting today.

✅ Here are a few doctor-approved tips:

1. Keep it simple. Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser (no need for harsh scrubs).
2. Hands off! Avoid touching your face throughout the day.
3. Hydrate. Drink plenty of water and moisturize—even if your skin is oily.
4. Eat smart. Limit sugar and greasy foods; aim for more fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
5. Change pillowcases weekly and wipe down your phone screen—bacteria love those spots!
6. Don’t pop pimples! It can lead to scarring and infections.

And remember: acne is totally normal during your teen years. But if it’s starting to affect your confidence or feels out of control, talk to a doctor. There are great treatments out there that really work.

Your skin is unique—treat it kindly 💙

Book an appointment today with Dr. Liezl Otto.

Remember we offer an affordable consultation option if medical aids has been exhausted.

🌟 Achieving Beautiful, Healthy Skin 🌟
As doctors, we often remind our patients: glowing skin isn’t just about appearance – it’s a reflection of your overall health.

While skincare products help, true radiance comes from a holistic approach.

Our top skin-health essentials:
✅ Stay hydrated – your skin loves water.
✅ Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants (think leafy greens, berries, nuts).
✅ Prioritize sleep – your skin repairs itself overnight.
✅ Wear SPF daily, even on cloudy days.
✅ Keep stress in check – it shows on your skin more than you think.
✅ Use skincare suited to your skin type (and don’t fall for every trend).

Remember, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to skincare. If you’re struggling with breakouts, dryness, or sensitivity, don’t guess – see a qualified professional. Sometimes, the right guidance makes all the difference.

✨ Healthy skin is beautiful skin. Take care of it, and it will take care of you.

Book an appointment today with Dr. Yolande le Roux and start taking care of your skin.

Persistent Acne Can Be More Than Skin Deep

As doctors, we know all the clinical facts about acne—its causes, treatment options, and how common it is. But we also understand the emotional toll it can take.

It’s frustrating when you're doing everything “right”—maintaining a skincare routine, managing stress, watching your diet—and still not seeing the clear skin you hoped for.

The truth is, acne is complex. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and for many, progress is slow. But that doesn't mean it's hopeless.

If you’re dealing with stubborn acne, know that you’re not alone. It’s okay to want immediate results—who doesn’t? But lasting skin health takes time, consistency, and sometimes the right medical intervention.

If your skin has been affecting your confidence or mental well-being, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today. There are effective options out there, from topical treatments to hormonal therapies and beyond.

Book an appointment today with Dr. le Roux and Dr. Otto and we’ll help you with a solution that’s right for you.

*We offer an affordable consultation option if your medical aid has been exhausted.
