Teenage Depression

Teenage depression is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities. It can affect a teenager's ability to function in school, relationships, and daily life. Symptoms may include changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Various factors contribute to depression, including genetics, environmental stresses, and hormonal changes. It’s important to recognize that depression is not just a phase; it’s a serious condition that can benefit from treatment such as therapy and, in some cases, medication. Early intervention can lead to better outcomes.
