Is your teenager irritable? Apathetic? Withdrawn? Does she sleep<\/a> in, seemingly forever, on weekends? Does she express unhappiness and thoughts of death and dying? Do you think she may need a teen depression treatment center?
\nIf so, how do you know if she’s suffering from depression or just garden variety teenage angst? Since the adolescent personality is, by definition, in flux, it can be difficult to distinguish normal adolescent behavior from more serious emotional disturbances so difficult, in fact, that mental health professionals often assign only tentative diagnoses or “shows symptoms of” descriptions to their teen patients.
\nNonetheless, serious depression is a common affliction for teens<\/a> and should be addressed immediately if suspected. If your teen exhibits a combination of several of the following symptoms, she may be suffering from depression or a related problem. If you suspect your child might be suffering from an emotional problem such as chronic depression (dysthymia), major depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder or any of the several types of depression, alert your mental health provider <\/a>(preferably one with experience diagnosing and treating teens) immediately.<\/p>\n
