Almost one in six people will develop a major depression some time in their lives, and teens are as susceptible as adults-if not more so. Serious depression afflicts over two million teenagers each year in the United States alone, and it can often be difficult for teens to recognize, cope with, and get help for their depression. Clearly teens with depression are not alone, and it is important that they realize depression does not have to be "forever," but is something they can work towards overcoming. In Depression: The Ultimate Teen Guide, Tina P. Schwartz helps teens and young adults learn how to deal with this often debilitating affliction. Throughout the book, teens share their personal stories of living with depression and other mood disorders, and describe what treatment was successful for them and what was not, and how they are coping today. Topics covered in this book include: *Warning signs and symptoms *Internal and external triggers *Coping mechanisms *The stigmas of mental health issues *How to preserve relationships *How to help a sibling, parent, or friend dealing with depression Aimed to support teens and young adults who might otherwise feel helpless and hopeless about their situation, Depression: The Ultimate Teen Guide is a valuable resource. This book will benefit not only teens dealing with depression, but their family and friends, as well.
