Description
Summary:This book, written for teens, defines depression, describes the symptoms, and explains that depression is treatable.
Everyone feels down or sad at times. These feelings are part of life and usually pass. But what if they hang on, affecting your body, your behavior, your emotions, and your thoughts? You may be more than sad--you may be depressed. If you are, you're not alone. More than 18 million Americans, including teens, have depression. If you think you might be depressed, please read this book. It includes the latest information on medication, nutrition, and health; current resources; and the Top Ten Questions teens have asked the author. Look inside to learn the causes, symptoms, and types of depression; how to tell if you might be depressed (take a quiz and find out); different kinds of treatment; survival tips--things you can do right now and in the future to help yourself--and ways to stay healthy, strong, and positive. You don't have to feel sad, hopeless, or alone anymore.--From publisher description.
