Clinical depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain and often shows up during teenage years. You need to be evaluated to find out for sure.

It certainly is. Organic Depression can be caused by a serotonin deficiency, or hormonal imbalance. Distorted thinking can cause you to become depressed.
