The 5 Hidden Signs of Teenage Depression

Adolescence is a period of intense physical, emotional, and social changes, and often the signs of depression can go unnoticed during this stage of life. As a mental health expert, I'm here to share 5 hidden signs of depression in adolescence that you need to know.
In this video, we'll explore:
Excessive irritability: Many adolescents with depression exhibit an unstable mood, with outbursts of anger and frustration that can be interpreted as simple "moodiness" typical of the age.
Social isolation: Extreme isolation, with a refusal to participate in social activities and limited interactions, can be a symptom of depression. These young people may feel uncomfortable in social environments.
Decline in academic performance: Depression can affect concentration, motivation, and interest in studies, leading to a drop in academic performance.
Changes in sleep patterns: Some adolescents with depression may experience insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, or excessive sleep, with long periods of sleep during the day.
Engaging in risky behaviors: These behaviors, such as alcohol and drug use, early sexual activity, or impulsive actions, can be a way for adolescents to cope with the emotional pain and distress caused by depression.
It is essential that parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals be attentive to these behavioral and emotional changes in order to identify depression in its early stages and provide the necessary support.
In this video, I will explore each of these hidden signs in detail, providing guidance on how to recognize them and how to intervene in an early and effective manner. Together, we will better understand depression in adolescence and learn how to care for the mental health of these young people.
