In case you didnโt know, ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ก! And we want our Yunion parents to be well educated on mental health especially when it comes to their kids as well as for themselves. So letโs keep the conversation going! โฃ

Teen depression is not uncommon unfortunately. The CDC states that approximately 1.9 million children between the ages of 3 and 17 are diagnosed with depression in a given year.โฃ

Depression in teens deeply affects those who experience it, but the symptoms are often different than those seen in depressed adults. In order to get help, it is important to first recognize the signs! โฌ๏ธโฃ

The problem is that teen depression often disguises itself as normal “mood swings” due to puberty or teen angst. This means that it is often ignored until something more serious happens. โฃ

Be engaged in your teenโs life, and keep an eye out for any unusual behaviors! If youโre looking for more advice or guidance, leave a comment below, or send us a message! ๐
