Introduction

Differentiating between typical teen growing pains and depression is not always simple. So here's how to spot the symptoms and help your child as much as possible.

Learning about teen depression

Teenagers experience depression far more frequently than most of us are aware of during the challenging adolescent years. In fact, it's predicted that one in five teenagers from all socioeconomic backgrounds will experience depression at some point in their teenage years.

Although depression is very treatable, most depressed teenagers never get assistance.

Teenage depression extends beyond moodiness. Every area of a teen's life is impacted by this major health issue. Thankfully, it is curable, and parents can support. Your teen may overcome depression and regain control of their life with the help of your love, advice, and support.

If you're an adolescent who's feeling down,...

Assistance is accessible, and despite what you may believe, you have more control over your mood than you think. Whatever the current state of your life, there are numerous things you can do to improve your mood and start feeling better right now.

Could my teen be experiencing depression?

While teens may experience low moods occasionally, depression is a different experience. Teenage depression has severe implications that extend far beyond gloomy feelings.

The core of your teen's personality can be destroyed by depression, which can result in an overwhelming feeling of dejection, hopelessness, or rage.

Teenagers may display a variety of rebellious and harmful attitudes or actions that may be symptoms of depression.

Teenagers attempt to cope with their emotional pain by acting out in the following ways:

Persistently bad mood: Depression is frequently characterized by persistent crying as a result of an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. Teenagers with depression, however, might not always seem depressed. Instead, tension, wrath, and irritation may be the most noticeable signs.

Challenges at school: Low energy and attention issues might result from depression. This could affect a student's performance at school by causing low attendance, a reduction in grades, or frustration with their schoolwork.

Loss of enthusiasm for activities: You might observe that your teen displays less zeal for their preferred pastimes away from school. For instance, they might stop participating in a sport or activity or isolate themselves from their loved ones.

Moving away: Teenagers who are depressed usually consider or really do run away from home. These attempts are frequently a cry for assistance.

Abuse of alcohol and drugs: Teenagers who are depressed may try to self-medicate by using alcohol or drugs. Regrettably, drug misuse just serves to worsen the situation.

Self-esteem issues: Feelings of unattractiveness, shame, failure, and unworthiness can arise and become more intense with depression.

Smartphone dependency: Although teenagers may use the Internet to escape their difficulties, excessive smartphone and Internet use, can deepen their loneliness and worsen their depression.

Reckless actions: Teenagers that are depressed may engage in risky or harmful behaviors, including drunk driving, binge drinking, or unsafe sex.

Violence: Some depressed teenagers—typically boys who have been bullied—can turn hostile and violent.
