What causes depression in teenagers?
As far as I’m aware, there is no single cause of depression for anyone. However, there seems to be a greater risk of depression if a person’s parents or grandparents suffered from it. Here’s the thing. Depression – real depression, not just the off day or two – is an actual illness. It’s not like being completely wacko; more like a mental cold. If someone is aware of it and knows a few ways to combat it, they can recover without any professional help. For other people, it comes and goes throughout their lifetime. And some people end up taking meds for a few months and it goes away. Anyway, like a cold, it can hit anybody, any time.
