Depression in Adolescents

Depression is a mental health disorder that affects adolescents, characterised by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities. It's estimated that 1 in 5 adolescents will experience a depressive episode at some point in their lives, and can have long-term and far reaching effects on physical and mental wellbeing. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential in helping adolescents manage and reduce the effects of depression. Treatment includes psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and in some cases, medication. Most adolescents can recover from depression with the right support and guidance.
