Teen Depression
Although taking antidepressants help some victims of depression, the best remedy is just to see a therapist.
Another cure for depression is just to talk to someone. The Nineline (1-800-999-9999) is a 24 hour hotline that assists teens with their problems.
Other factors, such as the occurance of a disturbing event, may trigger depression..
Stress from wanting to be accepted and surviving high school is another top reason for the widespread of depression in teens.
