Adolescent Depression Helping Depressed Teens I t’s not unusual for young people to experience "the blues" or feel "down in the dumps" occasionally. Adolescence is always an unsettling time, with the many physical, emotional, psychological and social changes that accompany this stage of life. Unrealistic academic, social, or family expectations can create a strong sense of rejection and can lead to deep disappointment. When things go wrong at school or at home, teens often overreact. Many young people feel that life is not fair or that things "never go their way." They feel "stressed out" and confused. To make matters worse, teens are bombarded by conflicting messages from parents, friends and society. Today’s teens see more of what life has to offer — both good and bad — on television, at school, in magazines and on the Internet. They are also forced to learn about the threat of AIDS, even if they are not sexually active or using drugs. Teens need adult guidance more than ever to understand all the emotional and physical changes they are experiencing. When teens’ moods disrupt their ability to function on a day-to-day basis, it may indicate a serious emotional or mental disorder that needs attention — adolescent depression. Parents or caregivers must take action. Dealing With Adolescent Pressures When teens feel down, there are ways they can cope with these feelings to avoid serious depression. All of these suggestions help develop a sense of acceptance and belonging that is so important to adolescents.

A Generation at Risk: How Teens Are Manipulated Into Abortion Gaylene was 14 when she became pregnant. Too embarrassed to go directly to her parents, she turned to her high school guidance counselor for advice. She writes: [The school counselor] was sympathetic and understanding. He felt there was no need to worry my family. He also explained about having a child, how tough it would be on me and that I wouldn't be able to do what I wanted to do. He said that the child would suffer because I was much too young to be a parent. He pointed out that the best thing for me to do was to abort the fetus at this stage so no one would be hurt. No mention was made of talking to my parents about this or carrying the baby to term. He indicated that adoption would be difficult and not an option for me. . . . I felt as though I had no control over what was happening to me. I started to question what I was doing, but in my logic I'd refer back to what the counselor had told me, and then I would think he was right. But still today, I feel like I did not decide to have the abortion. Gaylene's traumatic reaction to her abortion experience included suicide attempts, alcoholism, drugs, crime, involvement in a cult and a major break with her family.

We hear a lot about what you are doing but we sometimes wonder if you know what we are up to. The Guidance Insider is our attempt to keep you posted. During 1 st trimester, the counselors were very busy with personal counseling. We handled 13 suicidal students who needed a crisis intervention from Northwestern Counseling and Support Services. We worked with three students whose level of violence required agency referrals. We had two SRS referrals and two coordinated service plans. Many of our counseling hours are spent with students with significant mental health issues including depression. We are always grateful to the staff who refer us students and are so understanding of specific students needs. POST HOLIDAY STRESS : Although holidays are a joyful time for many we also know what a stressful time the days before major holidays can be, particularly the Christmas period. We have so many social and cultural expectations presented to us of what our holiday should be like. Additionally, we each have our own set of beliefs and expectations and hopes for this time of year. Hopefully your own holiday experience is filled with joy, love, peacefulness and rejuvenation. Unfortunately, for many of the youngsters we work with, the stress is compounded when the hopes and expectations turn to disappointment and sadness. There may be students returning to your classes or advisory for whom the holidays were very difficult. We can all be sensitive

Join Email List The Other Side of Blue The Truth About Teenage Depression By Elyse Dubo, MD, and Boja Vasic in collaboration with Linda Conn, MSW, and Marshall Korenblum, MD There is a widespread belief that depression in adolescence and young adulthood is normal - that moodiness and "the blues" are almost a rite of passage. To some extent this may be true, yet it dangerously masks the fact that eight to ten percent of teens suffer from true clinical depression. Young people with undiagnosed depression may appear irritable rather than sad. They may be angry, argumentative, or even violent; may get in trouble in school or with the law; may self-medicate with alcohol and drugs; and, in all to many cases, may attempt suicide. A tragically large number of such attempts succeed. Brianna felt that she had no future: "There's nothing good inside of me, there's nothing good outside of me. Why would I want to be in this world?" Darren hurt inside but was ashamed to admit he needed help. "I was in the tough crowd," he says, "Tough guys don't go to psychiatrists." Lauren was always tired, and cried constantly. Unable to connect with others, she spent much of her time in bed. "When you're really depressed there's no ladder, you're so far down." Chris was diagnosed with clinical depression for the first time after he attempted suicide. "I really had no sense of self-worth. To me it didn't matter if I died or lived." Once diagnosed, he realized that he had probably had the illness for most of his life.

Like major depression, dysthymia occurs twice as often in women as it does in men. It is also more common among the poor and the unmarried.

The symptoms of Dysthymia are: poor school/work performance social withdrawal shyness irritable hostility conflicts with family and friends physiological abnormalities sleep irregularities parents with major depression At least three-quarters of people with dysthymia have some other psychiatric or medical disorder as well.

We do not seem to be experiencing the "migration" from the city that we saw during the early 90's. Of course this is a subjective evaluation. We do, however, continue to see students with serious issues and alarming trends. These issues continue to increase in severity. A sampling of some of these more significant issues the counseling staff has dealt with is as follows:

Suicide Prevention The suicide rate for adolescents has more than doubled since the 1960s. So the challenge for parents and educators is to be able to tell the difference between normal teen mood swings and clinical despair. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says the "suicide rate is six times higher among males than females, ages 15 to 19 years, with Native American males having the highest suicide rate." The AAP also pointed out that "firearms were used in 67% of all adolescent suicides and are the leading cause of death by suicide." Time magazine (May 15, 2000) points out that males act very differnetly from females when it comes to suicide. Attempts are commn among girls, but completion is quite rare. "Boys are five time as likely to commit suicide, and they're much less likely to talk about it," says psychiatrist David Schaffer, president of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. "If a boy talks about suicide, that statistically carries a far higher risk of some tragedy occuring than when a girl does." There is this notion about depression and suicide, that if you ask or mention the subject, you're going to make it happen. Kay Jamison, professor of psychiatry at John Hopkins School of Medicine says, that quite the contrary is true. "Talking with a son or daughter about dark feelings will help assuage the sense of hopelessness the child may have."
