Unfortunately depression is vary common in adolescents and it is not always diagnosed until much later on, sometimes hardly in time before depression becomes destructive. Adolescents with depression may not always have the same signs as adults would have, for example it may seem as though as adolescents are showing signs of physical sickness such as lack of sleep or lack of appetite when in reality they are depressed.
If depression is caught early enough it can be treated for long term results. Therapeutic treatment is better for adolescents than medications on most occasions. The minds of adolescents are not finished maturing until early twenties and medications, like anti-depressants, not only effect the brain but can even increase suicidal thoughts and self harm or self defeating behaviors in adolescents.
