Understanding Teen Depression
Compassionate care for teens experiencing depression and low mood.
-
Beyond Moodiness: Teen depression is more than typical adolescent mood swings — it's a persistent condition affecting thoughts, feelings, and daily functioning.
-
Recognising Signs: Look for persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, social withdrawal, changes in sleep/appetite, irritability, and declining grades.
-
Serious Risk: Depression is a major risk factor for self-harm and suicide in adolescents, making early intervention critical.
-
Highly Treatable: With appropriate treatment, most teens recover from depression and develop resilience for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Talk of death or suicide, giving away possessions, withdrawal, sudden calmness after depression, and self-harm behaviours require immediate attention.
For moderate to severe depression, a combination of therapy and medication (under psychiatric supervision) is often most effective.
