The lockdowns are over but the scars are going to take some time to heal, especially  for teenage girls says Dr Regine Galanti, a clinical psychologist who specializes in adolescent anxiety. She says skipping so many normal teenage experiences, good and bad, during isolation has left many teens less able to navigate challenges. She says while no one can make up for lost time, she offers advice on the things we can do to better support teenage girls.
