What are some signs of depression in teens?
Question : What are some signs of depression in teens?
OKay, well i think i may be going through depression. I am 15 years old, and at school people always say i never have seen you mad/sad etc. and then at home i am a witch with a B. i seperate myself from everyone i always cry. could these be possible signs of depression? what can i do about it. this has been going on for awhile. Even though i try not to be mean and everything, i just cant help it. people making me mad in the slightest way just makes me blow up
(ps. its not PMS)
oh yeah. i thought of a better explination. i just lash out at people.
sometimes i just want to run away. and then othertimes i just want to hide in a corner and never come out.
No, it might not be PMS, but it very well could be hormonal. As a teenager you’re going to have mood swings and get a little upset. From what you describe you sound like a normal kid. You’ve heard of teenage angst right?
The signs of depression in teenagers or anyone really goes further than crying and occasional mood swings and anger. If you are feeling hopeless like life is not worth living, have low self esteem, feel empty, tired all the time, sleeping too little or too much (as a teen it’s normal to want to sleep 12 hours a night though), eating too little or too much, gaining or losing weight without trying, feel sad or irritable almost all of the time for a period of at least 2 weeks at a time, then you might be depressed.

dear teenager……..try to be what you are, not what other people is saying you are… it’s very hard being a teenager these days cause we think of everything but ourselves…if i may say so….try and change friends and daily habits. look within your heart and talk to GOD just like as if a friend was setting there[HE IS A FRIEND]please remember that at 15 you don’t have to act like an adult all the time. we have to train our minds just as we do our bodies to get it in shape to handle what is thrown at us. have you ever hear the old saying…..we are what we eat?…well the same is true here…we are what we think…when we get confuse and mixed up in our minds it will effect how our bodies respond..think on the good things in life. i know by the way you chose your words that you’re a fairly smart girl for being only 15,so never think of yourself of being a [B] witch…never…if you don’t feel better soon talk to your doctor about how you feel….wish you well

if your closest friends have never seen any drastic changes in emotion from you perhaps you hide it. emotions must be let out as they come, otherwise they tend to reveal themselves at the most inopportune times(such as at home). there are stages in life in which humans go through such stages of emotional fluxuations(but to categorize them as depression may be too drastic-only a health professional may do so..but then again they make mistakes too). your parents, and those you have issues with are not telepathic(or so i assume) if you wish for them to realize that anything is bothering you, please communicate. it is the key to every relationship and may solve for issues than you can believe. good luck

yes, it is the first sign of depression. i had been through this when i was a teenager. i dont express my feelings at school but i shut myself from everyone and everything once i’m home, and cry to myself. later you will feel angry with everything and anything that slightly annoys you and end up not being able to control your anger/emotions, and can turn you to be a hot-tempered person. you will also start to say nasty things to people when they attack you(verbally) even if just a little.
there is definitely something bothering you, and its doing quite a good job making you mad. if you know what it is, easy, fix it. just fix it. if you cant do it yourself, ask someone to help you, talk about it to someone, your closest friend if you cant talk to your parents. try to control your temper,there is no need to snap at people just because you’re depressed. its not something they have to deal with. when you feel angry just stop yourself and breathe slowly, it helps.
why cant you talk to your parents about it? wont they listen to you? they dont realize it because you never show them or tell them what your problem is! someone’s got to make the first move and if you want them to care, you have to let them know what you are going through.

Hormones raging makes young folks fractious and emotions up and down at this age.
You have so much to think about , so much to wonder about (future).
Slow down do not stress accept some days we feel up some days we are down. This is normal.
Increase your physical activity and be in the sunshine at least 30 minutes a day. This increases good hormones and happy mindset.Being a teen can be stressful in itself.
Just be sure to find someone to talk to… Grandmother, neighbor, any female who you feel comfortable with even an Aunt or just someone at school like the guidance councilor or a female teacher you connect with.
Go to herb Doctor you can take herbs that increase serotonin levels with no side effects.
Believe me all this rush of emotions are perfectly normal….still if you feel like they are not… just make a Doctor appointment with Gynecologist or health clinic for free..
