Answer 2

Mine were oversensitivity to normal things like crying a lot for no real reason. Suical tendecies are one. And of course the ones mentioned above. If you think you have depression you can check with a doctor or even just the internet from say like wellbutrin, or paxil. Any website that's a depression medicine has a depression checklist to kind of give you an idea if you might have it, but you'll still want to talk to a doctor about it. I've had severe clinical depression for 7 years among other things and still see doctors for it.

Answer 3

Depression in teens can show up in different areas of their lives. Withdrawing from friends or family, drop of grades, less motivated to do anyting, or enjoy the things they once did, change in sleep patterns, (either too much sleeping or insomnia) looking for self medication, as taking or trying drugs, drinking, etc.

Crying and physical ailments can also be depression or disease. I am not a med. professional so if you know a teen or are a teen experiencing these symptoms, you should consult your doctor.

Answer 4

Loss of interest in everything tends to be a tippoff. Crying a lot though can just be hormones, though, and headaches will come with the tears.

If you are the teen, talk to your parents and go see a psychiatrist who can tell you what's up.

If you're the parent, follow the above instructions, only vise versa *talk to your teen*

If there is worry, there's a chance that something's wrong.

Answer 6

what you can do is do a search on the internet for depression or you can go to the library, go to the reference section and find the DSM-IV-TR. it is the manual of mental disorders. it talks about the disorder and then gives signs and symptoms of the disorder. if they are depressed and it is affecteing their everyday life, take them to a psychologist or social worker (like at a mental health clinic). work with them and be there for them, never give up on them. it will take awhile to get otu of it, but once out of it, it can always come back. trust me, i have depression and it took me about a year to get out of it. i am doing fine now, but i still go and see my social worker every week.
