Depression affects a lot of teens — way more than you probably think. The tricky thing is that symptoms can appear differently in teens than in adults.

We often look back at our teenage years with rose-colored glasses. As time passes, it's often not hard to only remember the good times you had and none of the bad.

The teen years are chock-full of many challenges. You have the general growing pains, both literal and metaphorical. It's no wonder the teenage years can be the most challenging for teens and parents alike.

Most adults, when they think about depression, will picture it as being experienced by another adult. However, children and teenagers can also experience depression.
