Best Answer

The advantages of counseling for teenagers that are experiencing depression include getting the necessary help they need, learning how to cope with their dark thoughts, having a trusted adult to discuss real problems with, and sometimes getting the right medication to ensure their mental health.

The main disadvantage would be that many teens do not want to be labeled as "depressed;" it's a taboo word among teenagers. And many are concerned if they go into counseling for their depression that their friends and/or family may look at them differently.


However, if a teen is feeling continued depression either after a traumatic event or simply just because of day to day stresses, they should seek help.
