Depression needs to be treated. Teenagers suffering from depression typically have low self esteem, seem sad, often get into trouble at school or with the law, experience sadness, etc. Studies by the National Institute of Mental Health have shown that the most effective treatment for teen depression is a combination of antidepressant medication and psychotherapy.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is often used as a method of treating teen depression. CBT typically focuses on thinking and how it relates to behavior. This is especially helpful in changing suicidal thinking and behavior that sometimes accompanies teen depression. This therapy is a goal oriented approach.

Treating teen depression has been very successful especially when started early. Untreated depression can lead to a lifelong disability.
