Teen Depression: What Are The Causes Of Depression In Teenagers?
Teens with depression should see a qualified mental health professional before or as starting medication therapy. The psychologist will recommend either cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) or interpersonal therapy (IPT).
CBT helps to replace negative thoughts and emotions with good ones.
In IPT, the aim is to strengthen personal relationships by improving communication and problem-solving skills. Parents or caregivers will take part in select sessions.
