not sure but i suspect that teen depression sky rocketed in the last 15-20 years because for some reason you never really heard of it before 1990s or so. maybe it is because of television and movies and this new environment we live in today
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.
you get mood swings and you start saying you hate your life
Its started when one's can't control their own feeling & can't accept things which happens in their life
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.
peer pressure by friends,curiosity and maybe depression
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.
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!
yes
