Teen Depression
One of the hardest things for me to see are teenagers suffering from depression. I know it must also be very difficult for their parents, friends and other relatives. Sometimes our young people need for us to step in and give them the help they most desperately need. Hopefully parents are watchful enough have the kind of relationship with their children which allows them to see depressive behavior in their teen. Apparently, with so many teen suicides help may not always come in time.
I have found a website that looks to me like it would be helpful to anyone who is coping with a teenager who suffers from depression. The page I'm going to link you to would also be helpful to teenagers themselves. It strongly suggests teens talk to someone which is something I think it vitally important for anyone suffering from depression. There is a good list of the symptoms of depression as well as a small section that distinguishes fact from fiction.
Links on the site will take you to pages that describe other mental health problems teens sometimes have as well as behaviors teens sometimes display when having depression. Misbehavior and poor grades can often be signs of depression. I strongly believe in this statement on the site. "Most people with depression can be helped with psychotherapy, medicine, or both together." Psychotherapy saved my life and my marriage!
I hope you have a chance to check out Teen Depression. There is helpful information on the site for any of us with depression and especially for teens and their parents.

Know that teen may be quite angry that you are taking these steps. If you begin to doubt the wisdom of getting psychological help, ask yourself if you would hesitate taking to an orthopedist if his leg was broken just because he "did not want to go."
Depression is a treatable disease and, with proper intervention, most suicidal teens can be helped to lead long and productive lives.
