Everyone feels down at some time. It’s common to feel sad. If you are feeling sad most of the time, and the feeling is starting to impact your grades, relationships, and your behavior in many ways, then the issue might be more than just the blues.

a hundred teenagers suffer with each year.

longer period).

It would

take a health specialist to distinguish the sort of teen depression.

or are worthless are also indications.
