Depression in teenagers is more than just moodiness; it's a serious mental health issue that affects every aspect of a teen's life. Teen depression can manifest in various forms, from persistent sadness and isolation to irritability and anger. Recognizing and addressing this condition is crucial, as it can significantly impact a teen's development, relationships, and academic performance.
