Teen Depression
Teen depression is best described as a coagulation of mixed emotions and actions expressed by teens, for a two week or longer period. It is severe despondency and dejection, accompanied by feelings of hopelessness and inadequacy. Depression in teens is beyond occasional mood swings and rebellious behaviour, it is expressed physically, emotionally, cognitively, and behaviourally and can destroy a teen’s personality. There are three main points to consider in regards to depression, consequences of un-treated depression, signs and symptoms, and resolving it. Depression which is left un-treated can cause a teenagers life to become in complete despair, including issues at school, violence, running away, self-mutilation, family issues, and even to the severity of suicide. Though depression is a widely known issue studies have proven that only 20% of teens receive help. It is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of depression so we can treat it before it escalates and so that when and if it does occur we can help successfully deal with the issue. The most commons signs of depression in teens include, • Sadness and hopelessness • Irritability • Withdrawal from friends and family • Loss of interest in activities that once brought pleasure • Feelings of guilt and worthlessness • Fatigue and lack of motivation • Agitation • Weight loss or gain • Pessimism and constant negative thoughts • Changes in sleep patterns • Aggression • Suicidal thoughts if you are unsure if a teen is undergoing depression monitor their behaviour, document how long the abnormal behaviours have been occurring, and interpret what may have triggered the outbreak. It is important to monitor the duration and severity of the change in behaviour to deceiver if the teen is just having a rough time or if it has exceeded that point. Changes in sleep and eating patterns, as well as loss of interest in activities, and increased aggression are major signs to look out for when spotting depression. If depression is recognized it is important to take action immediately. Begin by talking to the teen, and listening to what they have to say without being judgemental. Suggest to the teen that it is important for them to seek further help and assistance, and schedule them an appointment with their family doctor, who can then schedule an appointment with a specialist. Understanding, recognizing, and coping with teen depression reduces the risk of suicide rates and un-healthy families and teen lives. It helps both the teen and the members involved in their life live a healthy and happier life and must not be taken lightly.
