DEPRESSION TREATMENT FOR TEENAGERS

CHANGE YOUR LIFE TODAY!

SEEKING TEENAGE DEPRESSION TREATMENT

Feelings of sadness and grief are natural responses to stress and loss, and an important part of coming to terms with and processing a traumatic event.

However, when these feelings extend over a long period of time and begin to impact your social, work, or school life, this could signal depression and it would be wise to seek teenage depression treatment.

In more severe cases, suicidal thoughts, with planning or attempts can be seen. Co-occurring disorders or addictions may also be present, with self-medication a common theme among those attempting to deal with depression.

Seeking rehab for teenage depression is essential in both determining the root cause of the depression and in laying out an appropriate treatment plan for improving your quality of life.

Some symptoms of depression include:

  • Low mood
  • Sadness, including frequent crying

  • Unexplained changes in sleeping and eating patterns
  • Loss of interest in activities, work, school, social or family life

Mental Health Issues Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE?
A mental health issue refers to a condition that affects a person’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It involves disturbances in thoughts, feelings, behaviour, or a combination of these aspects, leading to difficulties in functioning and experiencing a diminished quality of life. Mental health issues encompass a broad range of conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and many others. These conditions can vary in severity and may require professional diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support. It is important to prioritize mental health and seek help when needed.
WHAT IS DEPRESSION?
Depression is a common, whole-body condition that can arise out of challenging or traumatic situations, or result from a chemical imbalance in the brain. In younger people, depression may be mistaken for “teenage moodiness.” Depression heavily impacts motivation and concentration, and can become debilitating and potentially dangerous. Ensuring that someone suffering from depression is connected to the right resources is critical to improvement, and in some cases, life-saving.
WHAT IS CAUSES OF DEPRESSION?
Depression is a complex condition, and its causes can vary from person to person. It is often a result of a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Some potential causes include a family history of depression, imbalances in brain chemicals (neurotransmitters), significant life events or trauma, chronic medical conditions, certain medications, substance abuse, and a history of other mental health disorders. It’s important to note that depression is not solely caused by external circumstances, and it requires a comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing its underlying causes.
