You see the sadness in your teen’s eyes.
Their once-bright spark feels dimmed.
They’ve pulled away from friends, family, and activities they used to love.
Mornings are a struggle, and their once-vivid dreams for the future now seem distant.
You can sense their pain even when they don’t speak about it, but every attempt to help feels like hitting a wall.
You wonder if this is just a phase or something deeper, and the fear of what they might be facing keeps you up at night.
All you want is to see them smile again, to see them wake up with purpose and joy, and to know they feel okay in their own skin.
Support your struggling teen.
When your teen seems withdrawn, struggles with motivation, or shows signs of low self-esteem, it can be heartbreaking and overwhelming.
You want to help but knowing where to start isn’t easy. Teen depression can often be hard to recognize, but it is more than just sadness.
Depression may appear as irritability, anger, or a sudden loss of interest in things they used to enjoy. And as a parent, you may notice changes that others don’t.
Here are the signs of teen depression.
Teens experiencing depression often show signs.
- A sudden drop in grades or school performance
- Changes in eating or sleeping habits
- Increased isolation from friends and family
- Low energy or feelings of hopelessness
- Risk-taking behaviors or difficulty concentrating
- Expressions of self-criticism or worthlessness
Every teen is unique.
