Adolescence is messy by design, but depression in teenagers has a real clinical signature, and the sooner it’s named, the easier it is to treat.
With teens, you may not see their actual sadness. They withdraw and become irritable. What matters alongside withdrawal is whether other features are present: a sustained low or irritable mood, loss of interest, feelings of worthlessness, changes in sleep or appetite, and any thoughts about death or su***de. Two weeks of those symptoms together, with real impairment in school or relationships, is the line where adolescence crosses into a clinical depression that needs treatment.
