Moreover, we usually have

to face difficulties in our life from work to study. Sometimes, we feel sad, helpless, and
worthless when we have a bad grade at school or disagree with our boss at work. However,

to continue with our life. On the contrary, people who have depression feel helpless,
hopeless, and worthless from time to time. Depression is not only under-diagnosed, but it
often goes un-treated, resulting in serious problems in people's day-to-day lives. Sometimes
parents tend to make matters worse as well because they have difficulty believing that their
child is depressed.

result from deeply personal issues such as experiencing a divorce, growing up in a single-parent

find it hard or uncomfortable to talk about these things, so they bottle up their feelings; which
only makes them more depressed, and can cause serious issues such as feelings of low self-
worth, and suicidal thoughts. Talk therapy is one of the most prevalent types of depression

necessary care to help them. These major depressive episodes are frequently caused by the
amount of demands teenagers endure on a daily basis, such as bullying, issues of belonging, and
academic pressures; all of which produce serious stress. Girls are approximately 12% more
likely than boys to experience a depressive episode, due to the fact that girls express their
feelings more frequently than boys. Teenagers met the criteria for a major depressive episode if
they felt depressed and lost interest or enjoyment in daily activities for two weeks or more.
Feelings of poor self-worth and difficulty eating, sleeping, or focusing are further symptoms of
a major depressive episode. Depressive episodes affect not just your emotional condition, but
also other aspects of your life, such as your social life, school, and interactions with family
members. This same study found that 41.2 percent of teenagers who matched the criteria for
having a depressive episode received treatment, which is very encouraging for doctors.

disorder that can be treated. Depressive episodes can be treated with lifestyle changes, coping
strategies, talk therapy, or medicines. Most folks will require a combination of these methods.

dangers of depression, and we do not know about types, symptoms, causes, effects, and the
