While people often use the word "depression" to describe a momentary mood, the same term is also used to label a more serious and long-lasting problem that can interfere with many aspects of a person's life. This lack of direction can be hard because teens are at an age vulnerable to depression. But many teens get no direct instruction about how to manage difficult emotions. Teens get a great deal of information and guidance on many things from study skills to college admissions to test taking. This guide discusses depression and provides guidance on cognitive behavioral therapy principles to help teens take a problem-solving, strategy-based approach to deal with depressed moods, thoughts, and behavior. Depression: A Teen's Guide to Survive and Thrive is a guidebook for teenagers who are depressed or at risk for depression.
