Depression among teens is a growing concern, with estimates suggesting that around 13% of adolescents experience at least one major depressive episode by the age of 18. Raising awareness about depression in teens is crucial, as early identification and intervention can significantly improve mental health outcomes. Many adolescents experience emotional struggles, often feeling overwhelmed but unable to articulate their feelings due to stigma or a lack of understanding. Education on the signs and symptoms of depression, fostering open conversations, and reducing stigma in schools and communities can empower teens to seek help and support.
