DEPRESSION
INTRODUCTION TO TEENAGE
P A R E N T S , WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Teenage depression can be incredibly
difficult to approach
Facing the possibility
your adolescent
could be depressed
Also, your
distressed child
may not really
want to talk
about their
negative
feelings with
you.
As a parent
!
Might bring up a host of
negative
feelings for you,
making the problem worse.
Your kids require you most of all
to love them for who they are,
not to spend your whole time
trying to correct them.
-Bill Ayers
It can also be
hard to admit
to yourself that
your teen is
depressed
Running freely on the playground
CAN BE TOUGH
Recognizing a change in their personality
You still want to
imagine him or her as
a happy child
Sometimes you wonder
was it
my fault
Did I do something to make them feel sad?
What do I need to do differently?
Am I a bad parent?
TRY NOT TO BE HARD
ON YOURSELF
It’s a sad truth,
but a truth all
the same.
What’s more is that the rate in
teens and adolescents have only
increased over the last several d
ecades.
Do you know nearly
ONE FIFTH
of all teens suffer from some
degree of depression?
True facts about teenage depression are:
They lose appetite and interest in usual
activities they otherwise enjoy.
You or your partner may be responsible
for your kids’ depression because they are
hereditary.
1% of the female populations are depressed
by the time they get to 17. A fact from a study
published in Translational Psychiatry.
Teenage girls depression ratio
is almost three times more than boys and
here is why.3x
According to brain scans, girls process emotions
differently from their male counterparts. Don’t
forget that females are more of emotional
beings while the boys are more logical.
Girls have more heightened social pressure
than boys.
Girls’ hormonal changes skyrocket beyond that
of boys due to puberty.
As a parent it is
important to talk
to your teen
about his or her mental state, without
worrying that the problem might get worse.
But you must do so with care.
These changes are
NOT always easy
