Overcoming Adolescent
Depression

Author:John Sharry and Carol FitzpatrickPublisher:ObeikanPublish Year:2007Pages:161Categories:Philosophy and CounselingDescription:Raising children is one of the most difficult tasks a person may undertake, but being the parent of a depressed teenager can be a frightening and exhausting experience. The book explores the definition of depression and its symptoms in adolescents, distinguishing them from natural mood swings, and discusses adolescent depression alongside other difficulties like ADHD and autism, as well as causal factors such as addiction, abuse, or other mental illnesses. It also provides a practical guide to support sources, depression treatment, and the role of parents in support, focusing on suicide issues, common problems, and real-life experiences of treated adolescents. Adolescents recover from depression, and effective parental measures ensure they get the help they need and give them hope for a better life.
