Depression Among Teenagers in New York
Abstract The literature evaluation will comprise a review and complete analysis of scholarly information from scholars and researchers with a strong interest in studying depression among teenagers. This study will concentrate on adolescent depression in New York. Jane M. Burns, Gavin Andrews, and Marianna Szabo are among the scholars who have studied the reasons for depression among young people and how to prevent it. Martina Lotar is an adolescent psychologist who studies the impact of peer pressure. Lisa S. Meredith studies with the help of other scholars and researchers to uncover impediments to therapy for depressed teenagers. The literature study will include Sharif Mustaffa’s and his fellow researchers’ research on suicidal ideation and depression among students in college. In addition, Jennifer P. Wisdom and her colleagues investigate barriers to depression treatment among kids. The primary objective is to examine the arguments made in these scholarly works concerning adolescents’ depression screening, diagnosis, and provision of health care services in primary care settings. The keywords utilized in various permutations and combinations are depression, adolescence, overview, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.   Introduction             Depression is intensely common among teenagers in the United States of America, particularly girls in their teenage years. Notably, teenage girls are currently nearly three times as likely as teen males to have experienced depression. On the subject of teen pregnancy, teenagers differed the most among income groups. Fifty-five percent of teenagers from low-income families believed that depression was a serious concern among their peers, while only 22% of teenagers from wealthy families agreed. In the fall, 920 teenagers aged 13 to 17 in the United States were polled online and over the phone. Thirteen percent of teenage girls in the United States of America indicated that they had experienced a minimum of one major episode of depression in the previous year. These estimates were from an investigation that was conducted in 2017. A considerable number of teenagers have experienced depression or continue to experience the disorder. Keeping up with a regular adolescent’s life is not as straightforward as it appears. Negative worries about the future typically overwhelm adolescents, causing concern and disrupting sleep. These are all warning indicators that a person may be depressed. When adolescents are sad, it is normal for them to turn to substances like alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana to help them feel better. When these medications are misused, they can be exceedingly harmful. Due to the ease with which young teenagers can obtain these substances, harmful drugs have become increasingly common. Since alcohol is the easiest to get, it causes many problems for young people. This discussion will cover the issue of depression among individuals in their teenage years. Literature Review     &n...
