    Adolescent depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent sadness and loss of interest, affecting emotions, thoughts and behaviors. It can be caused by normal maturation processes, academic or social failures, childhood trauma, grief, independence conflicts with parents, inherited traits or bullying. Symptoms include emotional changes like sadness, anger, hopelessness or frequent thoughts of death, and behavioral changes such as tiredness, poor school performance, social isolation, substance use or self-harm. Left untreated, depression in teens can lead to issues like substance abuse, eating disorders, family conflicts, suicide attempts and academic problems. Prevention involves managing stress, seeking social support, and getting treatment at early signs of problems.
