How can I identify signs of a teen in crisis?

It's important to look for changes in behavior, mood, and social interactions. What specific signs are you noticing?

My teen has been isolating themselves and seems more irritable than usual.

Those can be significant signs. Isolation and irritability might indicate they are struggling with something. Have you tried talking to them about it?

I've tried, but they don't open up. What should I do?

Encouraging open communication is key. You might consider creating a safe space for them to express themselves without judgment.

What if they still refuse to talk?

If they continue to shut down, it might be helpful to seek support from a counselor or therapist who specializes in teen issues.
