A young mind is impressionable and more prone to emotional upheavals than an adult mind. In modern day scenario, the child is so burdened with parental and societal expectations that seemingly small and insignificant occurrences can have a serious affect.
Such incidents that seem insignificant to the mature and adult mind can act as a trigger and lead to child depression or teen depression as the case may be. Teen suicide is the third leading cause of death among children between the age 15 to 24years.
Teens tend to resort to easy and temporary solutions like drugs, alcohol or sex since these are easily available today. These are dangerous shortcuts that tantamount to a temporary escape from a depressed mental state. However, these can actually aggravate suicidal tendencies.
Teen depression can be prevented. The initial support from family can prove to be the best teen depression help that you can find. Although professional and institutional teen depression help is easily available and school counselors and professional therapists can support the situation, parental support is a must.
