depression

5400 teens commit suicide in one year. the rate of teen suicide from the ages of 15-24 have tripled, and suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death from that age group as well. Many teens try and commit mostly because of untreated depression. Depression has many different groups, Major depressive disorder, where it can last years, Dysthymic disorder, last at least one year, bipolar, mood swings high to low, and adjustment disorder, only a short term episode. Common things that trigger depression are school stress, divorced parents, peer pressure, genetics, romance, and financial troubles. If you fee that you might be depressed please go speak to someone, a school guidance councilor, a parent, a friends, just someone you trust because you don't want it to get worse. Only 1 in 5 teens get help. So please even if you aren't sure talk to someone because that someone could make a difference.
