This is such an important topic Patrice! I’m glad you’re bringing it to light. I suffered with depression in my teens and we really weren’t sure what it was. Luckily my mother recognized something was wrong and took me to the doctors.
This is some valuable information. Teenage depression isn’t something that should be ignored or overlooked. This is especially true in our society today.

This is great article to know the depression symptoms. I’d like to share this. Thank you so much.
Lexie Lane, Thank you for your support.
Was reading one of those articles that appear on Facebook earlier about young celebrities who are now dead – most of them took their own lives. This is not just a celebrity issue as your post made clear. Young people everywhere are under pressure in this fast, technological world. Thank you for doing your part raising awareness.
Claudette, I am on a mission to bring awareness to the forefront about teenage depression, secret….Thanks for your support.
Depression and suicide have become such nearly commonplace issues, it’s sad and alarming. With high profile people committing suicide (such as Robin Williams) way too often recently, we can only hope their deaths will not be in vain, but cause professionals to address mental health more effectively and bring more progressive action to reach out to those suffering from depression before it’s too late.
K. Lee Banks, People tend to notice if it was a celebrities like robin Williams but the average teenager suffering with depression still continue to be ignore. Thanks for support.
I have a family member who truly struggles with depresssion and I have had an illness which brings a lot of turmoil to me – I appreciate your bringing this out and to call attention to others especially young people fighting depression
Eileen Kelly, Thanks for sharing your personal story depression affect us all that is what I want to share and change the way people think about mental illness.
Thank you for raising awareness. Stress and depression is not an exclusively adult thing. Kids can suffer from it too. We must recognize it when it starts and seek intervention as needed.
My son is 12 years old. I am not looking forward when he turns 13 next year 🙁 Having depression is so sad 🙁 Thank you for your tips and hope that it will help teen-agers who are dealing with this kind of problem.
Depression is a very scary thing. We, as parents, should always be vigilant with how our kids behave.
There is a ton of research to show that shows a connection between depression and electronic devices. This is true in teenagers but also largely in women more so than men. The research is so detailed, you can learn how many hours on devices causes problems along with how close to bed kids are still on their phones. It is worth looking up and creating rules around this knowledge!
Sharon G. Cobb, Thanks for your suggestion will research moving forward.
