• In adolescents, depressed mood is common because of the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, the influence of sex hormones, and independence conflicts with parents.

• True depression in teens is difficult to diagnose because adolescent behavior is up and down moods, with periods of feeling 'the world is a great place' and 'life sucks'.

• These moods may alternate over a period of hours or days.

• Persistent depressed mood, faltering school performance, failing relations with family and friends, substance abuse

• Excessive sleeping, change in eating habits, even criminal behavior (like shoplifting) may be signs of depression.

• Another common symptom of adolescent depression is an obsession with death, which may take the form either of suicidal thoughts or of fears about death and dying.

• For every teen suicide death, experts estimate there are 10 other teen suicide attempts.

• 1 in 5 teens had thought about suicide, about 1 in 6 teens had made plans for suicide, and more than 1 in 12 teens had attempted suicide in the last year.

• As many as 8 out of 10 teens who commit suicide try to ask for help in some way before committing suicide, such as by seeing a doctor shortly before the suicide attempt.

• But teenage boys are four to five times more likely to die by suicide. Over half of teen suicide deaths are by guns.
