Is your teenager acting worse than usual? Are you having trouble getting them to do anything and sometimes they won’t even get out of bed? This can be a sign of depression, which is common in young adults. Belton has some of the most experienced mental health care professionals in Texas who can help.
Belton was founded in 1850 and was named after Peter Hansborough Bell who was the third Governor of Texas. The town boasts its great recreational areas such as the Nolan Creek Tube Chutes and Swimming Area. Taking your teen swimming used to be fun but if you don’t get them some treatment from one of the Belton therapists, they may not be wanting to go there anytime soon.
