I am a teen who has been diagnosed with depression. You can think your all sad and pathetic but until you talk to a doctor or a therapist you can't say you're "mentally depressed" or "clinically depressed". I'm clinical. If its clinical they can fix it. If its mental then they can give you some happy pills but its up to you to get over it.
Depression in teens can get very serious. I remember when I had depression, it got as far as suicide pacts. If you know a teen that has depression, call a doctor and have them tested. Don't be afraid to get the teen mad because in the end, he/she will be very happy.
People can suffer from depression at any age, but I presume it is not correct to describe it as 'teen depression' unless you are teenaged.
It is rare, but some teens get a condition called teen depression. It's kinda like depression for adults. I have teen depression and you can take pills for itfrom the doctor if it is teen depression.
No, the depression rate of teen has gone down in the last ten years. I don't know why, sorry!
If you want to know everything about teens suffer from depression (and how to help them) try reading this article which you can view at here (http://www.helpguide.org/mental/depression_teen.htm)
Symptoms for teen depression are very similar to the symptoms for adult depression. Withdral from people and things that they usually associate with is one symptom.
being a teen, there are too many changes and often no power to affect any of them
no i dont but i guess if something bad was to happen i would it just depends on what kind of person you are or how your family is. You are the only person that can make your self go in depression as a teen.
The average age for teenage depression is around 14 years old!
