Teen Depression
In the book, The Story of a Girl, Deanna Lambert suffers from teen depression due to her father practically hating her and most of her friends disowning her. Teen depression is an extremely serious problem in today’s world. Sometimes, depression leads to teens hurting themselves or even committing suicide. Others, usually isolate themselves from everyone else or are easily irritated. Some people feel as if medicines help these troubled teens, but some people feel as if the medicine either doesn’t work or takes too long to be affective compared to other treatments. (http://www.depression-guide.com/teen-depression.htm). In my opinion, antidepressants aren’t necessary for teenagers. Many medications used for depression increase weight which I, personally, think could be more depressing. I believe that psychiatric help would be best for the teens suffering from depression. As it is stated in the article, many people don’t know if the medications are truly affective on depressed teens. That is how I think teen depression should be handled in today’s world.
