From two leading child and adolescent mental health experts comes a guide for the parents of every college and college-bound student who want to know what's normal mental health and behavior, what's not, and how to intervene before it's too late.
"The title says it all.... Chock full of practical tools, resources and the wisdom that comes with years of experience, The Stressed Years of their Lives is destined to become a well-thumbed handbook to help families cope with this modern age of anxiety." (Brigid Schulte, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author of Overwhelmed and director of the Better Life Lab at New America)Â
All parenting is in preparation for letting go. However, the paradox of parenting is that the more we learn about late adolescent development and risk, the more frightened we become for our children, and the more we want to stay involved in their lives. This becomes particularly necessary, and also particularly challenging, in mid- to late adolescence, the years just before and after students head off to college. These years coincide with the emergence of many mood disorders and other mental health issues. Â
When family psychologist Dr. B. Janet Hibbs's own son came home from college mired in a dangerous depressive spiral, she turned to Dr. Anthony Rostain. Dr. Rostain has a secret superpower He understands the arcane rules governing privacy and parental involvement in students' mental health care on college campuses, the same rules that sometimes hold parents back from getting good care for their kids.Â
Now, these two doctors have combined their expertise to corral the crucial emotional skills and lessons that every parent and student can learn for a successful launch from home to college.

"The book The Stressed Years of their Lives highlights many of the struggles that older teens are experiencing while also navigating the critical years of decision making for college and beyond. As a parent of a college aged teen, this book was helpful in amny ways. It highlighted the national problems that exist for the children (yes, they are still children) who are launching into the college years, and what struggles may be presented along the way. These struggles include the usual - time management, drugs and alcohol, study habits - but also anxiety, depression, adjustment delays, how to make a plan for success, crisis care, and adjusting to the possibility of a "boomerang" back home with the hope of a relaunch - and more.
The book is broken down into two parts - Part One: Of Stress and Resilience and Part Two: Of Crisis and Recovery.
I learned that most mental health disorders present themselves during the ages of 14-26 which is already the most tumultuous decade in a person's life. We read so many parenting books when the children are infants and toddlers, but when it comes to this age group of raising young adults, we need to immerse ourselves in more books that show us how to best accompany our college aged children along their journey to adulthood.
This book was enlightening and helpful and I will continue to use it as a reference for the years to come with the college aged child, as well as the siblings who will soon follow."

The Stressed Years of Their Lives Helping Your Kid Survive and Thrive During Their College Years Audible Audio Edition B Janet Hibbs PhD Anthony Rostain MD Anthony Heald Macmillan Audio Books Reviews
- Anyone who has been to college or who has a child in college can tell you those years can be stressful. But why does it seem so much stressful now than it did 30 years ago when I was in college? (30 years?? Yeah, I'm getting old. . . .) Psychiatrist Anthony Rostain and psychologist B. Janet Hibbs have first hand experience as counselors and parents observing and treating college kids. In The Stressed Years of Their Lives Helping Your Kid Survive and Thrive During Their College Years, they provide parents and educators with some tools they need to deal with their college kids.
Hibbs and Rostain write both as professional counselors and as parents. In their own families and among their college clients, they see the trends among students. Over the last few decades, college students are under stress like never before. They write, "We are now recognizing that our widely accepted education benchmarks--standardized tests, honors in high school, the increasing necessity of a degree from a name brand college--all intended to prepare children for adult success, are often toxic to emotional development." Getting into college is pressure-filled enough, but "the feeling that if you fail even once in college your entire future is over, that pushes students over the edge."
In this atmosphere of pressure, college counseling offices are busier than ever before. But it's more than academic pressure and social pressure that impacts many college students. Hibbs and Rostain explore mental illness and psychological issues that increasingly impact college students. Anxiety and depression often goes undiagnosed, or are dismissed, sometimes with tragic results. Thankfully, the stigma attached to these mental illnesses is disappearing, so hopefully college kids and others will be more likely to seek help.
The problem with The Stressed Years is that by the time most parents take time to seek out this book, it's probably too late. Unfortunately, most parents are not aware of the deep problems their students are having until they are deep into trouble. Hibbs and Rostain hope to give parents the tools and information they need to prepare their children for college and to recognize warning signs of anxiety, depression, and other issues. With lots of personal stories and practical steps, parents and their college kids can stave off the inevitable stress of college.
