Teenage depression is a growing concern, affecting how young people think, feel, and act. It goes beyond occasional sadness, often leading to persistent feelings of hopelessness, withdrawal, and even self-harm. Triggers range from social pressures and academic stress to family challenges or trauma. Unfortunately, many teens hesitate to seek help due to the stigma surrounding mental health, making awareness and support crucial.
