Psychiatr Ann. 2011 April;41(4):235-239
By Jennifer L. Hughes, PhD; Joan Rosenbaum Asarnow, PhD
Depression, with a point prevalence of approximately 6% during adolescence, puts youth at major risk for adverse outcomes, including psychosocial difficulties; drug and alcohol abuse; academic problems; early parenthood; suicidality; and adult depression. To date, antidepressant medications and psychotherapy have been shown to be effective in the treatment of pediatric depression.
