Question:
Does anyone have a recommendation for someone who is known to be
successful in determining the cause of and treating adolescent depression (really helping the root
causes, not just drugging them up)?
Answer:
Most adolescent depression is caused by a reaction to an event---a
poor grade, the loss of a relationship---rather than a biochemical
imbalance....Feeling blue after not getting into one's first-choice
college is as appropriate as feeling happy after scoring a winning
touchdown.
