Teenage Depression Causes
When teenage depression hits, one of the hardest parts of dealing with it is not knowing where it came from. Teenagers are generally the most in flux emotionally amongst the different age groups as well, another reason why diagnosing and determining the cause of teenage depression is so hard to do. Because of the inherent difficulties involved, you want someone at your side that really has enough experience to know what they are doing no matter what the situation might be. There are precious few places like that, but the Sunset Malibu clinic is one of them.
Because teenagers have emotions that are generally in flux on a daily basis, knowing exactly what the cause of a specific depression is might be next to impossible to determine. The most common cause is a particular event that has triggered the adolescent depression, such as a dumping by a boyfriend or girlfriend or a failure at some particularly important part of school. These events could however be a trigger to a depression that was there before. With teenage depression, many things could be possible. Once again, that is why you want only the best handling the case. We are the best and can prove it to you if you choose us to help.
As with all co-occurring disorders, Sunset Malibu treats depression disorders as a co-occurring disorder with drug and or alcohol abuse.
