  Some parents and caregivers mistake depression for typical teen moodiness. Some differences between the two include:

Teens may have lots of mood swings, including shifts toward happy or elated behavior, whereas teens with depression will display an extreme pattern of anger, sadness, or withdrawal.

Typically, teens will try to establish an identity separate from that of their family. They may not enjoy family events and might be angry with their parents or caregivers. However, they tend to try to formulate and establish this new identity with their friends. Teens with depression, on the other hand, may also withdraw from their friends.

It is important to involve the teen in the therapist selection process, as they must feel comfortable confiding in this person.

Other ways to support teens with depression include:


Listening without judgment: Teens need someone with whom they can share their emotions.
