Teen Depression
At the biological level, depression results from abnormal levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. This can be caused by changing levels of hormones, explaining why many people first experience depression during puberty.
For depression among teens:
- Depression is sometimes interpreted as "just a phase", which delays treatment.
- Girls are twice as likely as boys to develop clinical depression.
- Adolescents with depression are likely to have family members who are also depressed.
