Depression Assistance for Teens: May Save Lives

An excellent book for teens who are experiencing any level of depression. One of the key things I found in the book is the reminder to tell someone and it discusses the best people to tell, such as mental health professionals. Discusses the symptoms and types of depression, how to get help, discusses medication, counseling and provides personal stories of another teen's experience with depression. This book could save lives.

Good depression book for teens

There are very few books on depression specifically for teens, and this is a good one. It covers not only the basics of depression in how it appears in teens, but also how to get treatment. It presents the information in a realistic but positive manner.
