Treatment of Adolescent Depression. The Efficacy of Various Pharmacological and Psychosocial Treatments
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Beratung und Therapie, Note: A, University of Bridgeport, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This text provides clinicians with an updated overview of the efficacy of popular pharmacological and psychosocial treatments for adolescent depression. Adolescent depression is a mental health disorder affecting teenagers. It is often characterized by feelings of sadness, loneliness and emotional pain. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has shown that nearly 11 percent of adolescents will develop depression by the age of 18. Despite these statistics, depression commonly goes undiagnosed and untreated. According to Greenberg an estimated 70% of teenagers suffering from depression go without treatment. Therefore, more awareness and information regarding treatment of adolescent depression is needed for effective maturation into adulthood. With numerous pharmacological and psychosocial modalities available, a safe and effective combination is important for a positive outcome.
