Understanding Teen Depression: What You Need to Know and Do

Depression affects over five percent (5%) of American teens. And teen depression statistics continue to rise.

One of the chief ways we can identify teen depression is their loss of interest in the things that they normally enjoy. If this continues over a period of time, at least two weeks, then there is the distinct possibility that they are depressed.

Teenagers bodies go through the changes from childhood to adulthood and there are certain expectations. Teen girls worry that they are too fat, too skinny, too dark, too light and all the other negative body images they face daily.

Cause of Depression: What They are and How to Identify Them

There is much debate as to the causes of depression. This is because depression is still very much misunderstood and the factors that lead to a depressive episode in one person are not the same for another.

It is for this reason that some experts talk about risk factors for depression rather than causes of depression.

Depression Help - Depression Medication Guide

Depression Medication Guide

Depression medications, called anti depressants, are divided into three basic categories. The MAOI's, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, (SSRI's) and tricyclics, or TCA's.

The inhibition of the enzyme allows for more of the good neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine to reach the brain.

Some people will have to take depression medication for life, while others need only take it until the neurotransmitters in the brain rebuild themselves. The body and brain are amazing.

Depression Clinic - What to Expect, What to Bring, What to Say

Depression clinics are off shoots of hospitals in your area.

Making the decision to get help for your depression could be one of the most important decisions of your life. The counseling and possible medication that you can at the depression clinic can change your life, giving you hope where you used to feel hopeless.

Body Pain as a Physical Symptom of Depression

Body pain from exertion is fairly easy to identify. It is different than a physical symptom of depression.

If you work at a computer or desk all day and come home with a sore neck, it is from the exertion of having your body in the same position all day long.

The most common physical complaint from people suffering from chronic depression is also chronic pain, the unending pain that seems to follow you everywhere, and puts a wedge between you and having fun.
