When Is A Moody Teenager A Cause For Concern?
(NAPS)---M0st teenagers are sad
or moody at times. But depression
is something different. A person
with depression feels sad or down
most of the time for a period of at
least two weeks, and loses interest
in activities he or she once enjoyed.
Depression is a serious condition
that can impact a teen's perfor-
mance at school or work, as well as
his or her interactions with family
and friends. Studies show that one
out of every eight teenagers has
depression. When depression is
severe--known as major depressive
disorder, or MDD--it can cause
great harm, including an increased
risk of suicide.
The good news is that there are
tools to help identify depression in
teens, and there are effective
treatments to help teenagers with
depression get better.
How Do I Know If
My Teenager Is Depressed?
Parents can't always tell the
difference between normal mood
changes in their teen and depres-
sion. Some teens may appear dis-
ruptive, irritable, angry, agitated
or withdrawn rather than sad
when they are depressed.
Other signs of depression in
teens include complaints of pain
or fatigue, difficulty concentrating
or making decisions, overwhelm-
ing feelings of guilt, irresponsible
or reckless behavior, eating very
little or too much resulting in
rapid weight loss or weight gain,
changes in sleep patterns, preoc-
cupation with death or dying, a
sudden drop in grades, and with-
drawing from friends.
However, your teen may have
depression even if you have not
noticed any signs of a problem.
Therefore, the U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force recently rec-
ommended that primary care clin-
zczans: screen all adolescents
between the ages of 12 and 18 for
major depressive disorder, regard-
less of whether the teen or the
parents raised this as a concern.
What Should I Do If I Think
My Teenager Is Depressed?
Someone with depression can't
simply "snap out of it." If you have
Reach out to your teen's primary
care clinician with any concerns
about mood or behavior.
any concerns about your teen's
mood, behavior or functioning, you
should contact his or her primary
care clinician. A clinician can
screen for depression and, if
needed, help you and your teen fig-
ure out the best plan for treatment.
What Are The Treatment
Options For Teenagers
With Depression?
Depression in teenagers can be
effectively treated in a number of
ways, including with counseling
or therapy, medications, support
programs, or a combination of
these approaches. The best treat-
ment for a teen depends on how
severe his or her depression is as
well as other considerations, such
as other health conditions, prefer-
ences for treatment, and other
issues going on in the teen's life.
Determining which treatment
option is best for your teen should
be a shared decision between the
clinician, the teen, and you as the
parent. During this conversation,
make sure all your questions and
concerns are addressed. Use this
time to become fully informed
about available treatments so that
you can decide together with your
teen what options are best.
Some primary care practices can
treat teens with depression, while
others will refer teens to mental
health providers in the community
and then follow up to ensure they
get the care they need. Your primary
care clinician along with you as the
parent should continue to monitor
your teenager on an ongoing basis
to ensure that the chosen treatment
is helping. If you have any concerns,
you should talk with your teen's pri-
mary care clinician to discuss mak-
ing any changes to the treatment
plan.
Are Antidepressants Safe
For Teenagers?
Medications used to treat depres-
sion, known as antidepressants, are
effective but are also known to have
side effects. The FDA warns that
antidepressants can increase the
risk of suicidal thinking and behav-
ior in children and adolescents with
depression and other psychiatric dis-
orders, although this is rm:e. For
this reason, the use of antidepres-
sants in teenage patients requires
close monitoring and follow-up by a
clinician. Parents can help by mon-
itoring their teen's behavior and
alerting the clinician if they notice
changes.
What About Depression In
Kids 11 Years Or Younger?
While some kids can experience
depression before age 12, there have
been very few studies on screening
for and treating depression in this
age group. The U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force found that there
is not enough evidence to recom-
mend for or against screening all
kids 11 years old or younger, and is
calling for. more research in this
area. However, it is important to
take any concern about depression
seriously, regardless of the age of
the child, and parents who have a
concern about their child's mood or,
behavior should talk with their
child's primary care clinician.
Recommendations To Protect
Your Health
The U.S. Preventive Services
Task Force is an independent
group of national experts in pri-
mary care, prevention, and evi-
dence-based medicine. The aim of
the Task Force's work is to evalu-
ate and identify critical preven-
tive health services that a pri-
mary care clinician can perform.

Force and to read the full reports

Children and Adolescents," "Screen-
ing for Depression in Adults" and

and Older Adults," please visit www.
