Teen depression?
How can you tell if you have depression as a teenager? I need help understanding the symptoms, i don't wish to see my doctor if these symptoms are just..normal things.
Then talk to someone at your school such as a school nurse. Depression is a serious thing and should be treated because after about two weeks, there is a chemical imbalance that begins to take place in the brain cells and it takes medication to correct that imbalance. The signs of depression are a lack of appetite, fatigue, crying over nothing, lack of interest in everyday activities, a feeling of being lonely, chronic pain; these are probably the primary symptoms. See someone before your depression (if you feel you have it) gets worse.
