Adolescent Depression

Adolescent depression is a major concern for the youth of today. As adolescents deal with several pressures in today's society, many start to develop symptoms of depression. Another contributing factor is the change of different chemicals and hormones within the adolescent in which chemical balances in the brain may become unbalanced. As these symptoms begin to develop an adolescent may be cognizant of the fact that there are changes going on. Yet they may be unable to identify what is happening. They only try different remedies to try and correct the depression. An adolescent suffering from depression may begin a process of self-medication with illegal substances to try and cope with the new feelings and pain. This could lead to other, more severe consequences including addictions or even worse, suicide.
