Adolescent Depression Their Remedies
The word ldquodepressionrdquo is derived from the Latin word ldquodepresisionemrdquo
which means ldquodejection depression of spiritrdquo referring as a clinical term in psychology
(httpwwwentymonlinecomindexphp) In a more specific sense depression is an
emotional state marked by great sadness feelings of worthlessness and guilt withdrawal
from others and loss of sleep appetite sexual desire and interest and pleasure in usual
activities (Davison and Neale 2001) Depressed individuals usually prefer to be alone
Most of them are out of focus so it is hard for them to pay attention They stare at blank
spaces and have melancholic and features
The term ldquoadolescencerdquo comes from the Latin word ldquo Adolescererdquomeaning ldquoto growrdquo or ldquoto grow to maturityrdquo (httpwwwentymonlinecomindexphp)
Adolescence is defined as the transition between childhood and adulthood which
involves biological cognitive and socioemotional changes It is also known as the period
of ldquostorm and stressrdquo (Santrock 2005) Adolescents tend to change their attitudes and
behaviors due to physical changes that have occurred prior to this period Most
adolescents have heightened emotionality and because of this they are the ones who
mostly suffer from depression
Depression is the most common psychological disturbance among
adolescents Most people associate depression with feelings of sadness not knowing
what are the different causes and forms of depression Another issue concerning with the

adolescent depression is that most people do not know what are the proper and possible
means to mend depression Therefore the purposes of this paper are to identify the
different causes and forms of depression among adolescents and to cite its possible
remedies
There are several internal causes of
depression One is learned helplessness which is due to
unpleasant and traumatic experiences (Davison 2001) An
individual loses his ability to learn and to interact with
peers and feels helpless because he can do nothing about
it Another is Negative Schema a tendency to see the
world negatively (Davison 2001) Through certain
cognitive biases people misperceive reality and expect
themselves to fail most of the time Smith etal (2009)
believes that there is increasing evidence that recurrent depression is heritable This
means that depressed pregnant women will bear depressed children in the future Last
Cholinergic and Aminergic used as neurotransmitter which serves as chemical signals
sent by neurons (Wurtman 2007) Since some neurotransmitters regulate mood an
imbalance of the system causes people to become depressed
Reaction to loss is one of the external causes of depression The death of a
family member a friend or even a pet can go beyond normal grief
(httpwwwkidshealthorgteen your_ mindmental_healthdepressionhtml) Some
people cannot cope with great loss They hardly accept what is real and true They grieve
832019 Depression Their Remedies
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulldepression-their-remedies 613
and mourn continually Another external cause of depression is Psychopathology in the
family (Beckham and Leber 2002) Interaction among family members is important
Each family memberrsquos characteristics can highly
influence the other especially from a parent to
children Children may develop mood disorders if their
parents are depressed
Bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating periods of depressed mood
extremely elevated mood (httpwwwallaboutdepressioncomdia_01html) A person
with bipolar disorder experiences extreme highs and lows of mood He feels great joy to
the extent that his behavior is inappropriate and he is unable to perceive reality He also
feels great sadness and is engaged in major depression Certain types of bipolar disorders
are bipolar bipolar II and I In these disorders
one feels the same sense of depression They
only differ in some symptoms Another type
of bipolar disorder is cyclothymia wherein a
person has frequent periods of depressed
moods and hypomania in which during
depression they have inflated self-esteem
(Davison 2001) That is a cyclothymiacsrsquo performance would depend in which of the
two depression or hypomania
832019 Depression Their Remedies
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulldepression-their-remedies 713
One experiences extreme and profound sadness in unipolar depression that
persist for about weeks and years (httpwwwwikipediaorg) People having unipolar
depression has a wide gradient in the severity of the
symptoms and it can vary dramatically Unipolar
depression is subdivided into three categories first
the major depressive disorder which is characterized
by sadness and loss of interest It persists for at least
two weeks with difficulties in an individualrsquos
functioning Second dysthymia which is low
chronic grade depression is less severe than the first
It persists for at least two weeks without depressive
symptoms for more than two months Third the seasonal affective disorder which is a
type of unipolar depression develops annually because of lack of sunlight during autumn
and winter (Awake 2009) These symptoms of three categories are quite similar in their
treatments
Depression in a clinical sense has four types of symptoms namely
emotional cognitive motivational and physical symptoms (Steinberg 2002) Emotional
symptoms include low self-esteem Individuals having these symptoms may show
chronic sadness apathy and feelings of worthlessness The second symptom cognitive
symptoms include pessimism and hopelessness (Steinberg 2002) Depressed people
possessing these kinds of symptoms experiences difficulty in concentrating and decision-
making Most of them have suicidal ideation and thoughts or wishes of death The third
832019 Depression Their Remedies
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulldepression-their-remedies 813
symptom motivational symptoms include social withdrawal agitation irritability and
experiences frequent breakdowns (httpwwwwikipediaorg) We can observe out from
this people with their hostile and passive behaviors Finally physical symptoms include
difficulty in sleeping hypersomia fatigue and weight loss
A form of Psychodynamic therapy that
concentrates on present-day interactions between the
depressed person and the social environment is
effective for alleviating depression (Davison 2001)
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) focuses on the personrsquos
current life and aims to understand its interpersonal
problems They develop social skills and social-role
requirement of the person and give him freedom to
express his unrecognized negative feelings On the other hand Cognitive Therapy (CT)
aimed at altering maladaptive thought patterns (Davison 2001) Therapist persuades
patients to think well of themselves that they may identify thoughts that contributes
depression Behavioral components are also used in cognitive restructuring such that
patients experiences success with their given task However comparison of the
effectiveness of the IPT and CT did not vary if the depressed person indicates readiness
for change in social and personal relations
The Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for
depression that uses unilateral shock anesthetics and muscle relaxants (Davison 2001)
832019 Depression Their Remedies
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulldepression-their-remedies 913
A patient can be cured using this kind of method in which passing currents are
administered to patients having severe depression that can usually be seen in a hospital
setting Antidepressant drugs are the most commonly used
treatment for depression (Davison 2001) These drugs
alleviate depression and produces mild feeling of
relaxation The proper maintenance of dosage must be as
high to have an effective treatment However abusive use
of drugs can cause bad side effects that will affect in a personrsquos health Another therapy
exclusive for the treatment of Seasonal Affective
Disorder is the Light therapy Light therapy is a
repeated exposure to bright light which helps about
75 people having Seasonal Affective Disorder
(Cohen 2007) Exposure to bright light or sunlight
can help in lifting mood Further it will lessen the
prevailing symptoms such hypersomia and high crave
for food
Depression is one of the most common emotional problems around the
world However the good news is that it is also one of the most treatable conditions
(httpwwwkidshealthorgteenyour_mindmental_healthdepressionhtml) Actually
such problem could be treated at home by parent consultation or by herbal remedies
Opening up to parents or other adults help lessen the burden They could be supportive
and a good adviser who might as well save the life of the depressed person On the other
832019 Depression Their Remedies
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulldepression-their-remedies 1013
hand some herbal remedies are much better in curing depression In fact would you
believe that one simple effective home remedy for treating depression is by drinking a
glass of warm water with rose petals and sugar
solution (httpwwwiloveindiacomhome-
remediesdepressionhtml) It is because rose
petals contain glucoside that helps to relax due to
its sweetness which produces happy hormones or
betaendomorphine One simple way also that
might surprise you is a neutral immersion bath for
about an hour that would do wonders in curing a person off depression and uplift hisher
mood Yet another natural way to cure depressed mind is to soak feet in a tub with hot
water with rosemary leaves chlorine and some soap added to it Do this for about 20
minutes and rub your feet (httpwwwiloveindiacomhome-remediesdepressionhtml)
However you might be wondering why all these are effective remedies This is because
submerging your high tempered body to lukewarm water relaxes and cools down your
stress nerves and muscle tensions
Knowing the different causes of depression will help people know the
different forms Eventually this depression will cause severity to us Since not everyone
might know depression is a curable disorder this paper cited the different causes and
symptoms to come up with a possible remedy Aside from parent consultation and
counseling it could also be treated scientifically such as Electroconvulsive Therapy
(ECT) Drug Therapy and Light Therapy Another and yet the cheapest form of treatment
832019 Depression Their Remedies
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulldepression-their-remedies 1113
is through herbal medicine Rose petals may not only be useful in courting someone it is
also useful in treating depression

Adolescent Depression Their Remedies
The word ldquodepressionrdquo is derived from the Latin word ldquodepresisionemrdquo
which means ldquodejection depression of spiritrdquo referring as a clinical term in psychology
(httpwwwentymonlinecomindexphp) In a more specific sense depression is an
emotional state marked by great sadness feelings of worthlessness and guilt withdrawal
from others and loss of sleep appetite sexual desire and interest and pleasure in usual
activities (Davison and Neale 2001) Depressed individuals usually prefer to be alone
Most of them are out of focus so it is hard for them to pay attention They stare at blank
spaces and have melancholic and features
The term ldquoadolescencerdquo comes from the Latin word ldquo Adolescererdquomeaning ldquoto growrdquo or ldquoto grow to maturityrdquo (httpwwwentymonlinecomindexphp)
Adolescence is defined as the transition between childhood and adulthood which
involves biological cognitive and socioemotional changes It is also known as the period
of ldquostorm and stressrdquo (Santrock 2005) Adolescents tend to change their attitudes and
behaviors due to physical changes that have occurred prior to this period Most
adolescents have heightened emotionality and because of this they are the ones who
mostly suffer from depression
Depression is the most common psychological disturbance among
adolescents Most people associate depression with feelings of sadness not knowing
what are the different causes and forms of depression Another issue concerning with the
832019 Depression Their Remedies
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulldepression-their-remedies 513
adolescent depression is that most people do not know what are the proper and possible
means to mend depression Therefore the purposes of this paper are to identify the
different causes and forms of depression among adolescents and to cite its possible
remedies
There are several internal causes of
depression One is learned helplessness which is due to
unpleasant and traumatic experiences (Davison 2001) An
individual loses his ability to learn and to interact with
peers and feels helpless because he can do nothing about
it Another is Negative Schema a tendency to see the
world negatively (Davison 2001) Through certain
cognitive biases people misperceive reality and expect
themselves to fail most of the time Smith etal (2009)
believes that there is increasing evidence that recurrent depression is heritable This
means that depressed pregnant women will bear depressed children in the future Last
Cholinergic and Aminergic used as neurotransmitter which serves as chemical signals
sent by neurons (Wurtman 2007) Since some neurotransmitters regulate mood an
imbalance of the system causes people to become depressed
Reaction to loss is one of the external causes of depression The death of a
family member a friend or even a pet can go beyond normal grief
(httpwwwkidshealthorgteen your_ mindmental_healthdepressionhtml) Some
people cannot cope with great loss They hardly accept what is real and true They grieve
832019 Depression Their Remedies
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulldepression-their-remedies 613
and mourn continually Another external cause of depression is Psychopathology in the
family (Beckham and Leber 2002) Interaction among family members is important
Each family memberrsquos characteristics can highly
influence the other especially from a parent to
children Children may develop mood disorders if their
parents are depressed
Bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating periods of depressed mood
extremely elevated mood (httpwwwallaboutdepressioncomdia_01html) A person
with bipolar disorder experiences extreme highs and lows of mood He feels great joy to
the extent that his behavior is inappropriate and he is unable to perceive reality He also
feels great sadness and is engaged in major depression Certain types of bipolar disorders
are bipolar bipolar II and I In these disorders
one feels the same sense of depression They
only differ in some symptoms Another type
of bipolar disorder is cyclothymia wherein a
person has frequent periods of depressed
moods and hypomania in which during
depression they have inflated self-esteem
(Davison 2001) That is a cyclothymiacsrsquo performance would depend in which of the
two depression or hypomania
832019 Depression Their Remedies
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulldepression-their-remedies 713
One experiences extreme and profound sadness in unipolar depression that
persist for about weeks and years (httpwwwwikipediaorg) People having unipolar
depression has a wide gradient in the severity of the
symptoms and it can vary dramatically Unipolar
depression is subdivided into three categories first
the major depressive disorder which is characterized
by sadness and loss of interest It persists for at least
two weeks with difficulties in an individualrsquos
functioning Second dysthymia which is low
chronic grade depression is less severe than the first
It persists for at least two weeks without depressive
symptoms for more than two months Third the seasonal affective disorder which is a
type of unipolar depression develops annually because of lack of sunlight during autumn
and winter (Awake 2009) These symptoms of three categories are quite similar in their
treatments
Depression in a clinical sense has four types of symptoms namely
emotional cognitive motivational and physical symptoms (Steinberg 2002) Emotional
symptoms include low self-esteem Individuals having these symptoms may show
chronic sadness apathy and feelings of worthlessness The second symptom cognitive
symptoms include pessimism and hopelessness (Steinberg 2002) Depressed people
possessing these kinds of symptoms experiences difficulty in concentrating and decision-
making Most of them have suicidal ideation and thoughts or wishes of death The third
832019 Depression Their Remedies
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulldepression-their-remedies 813
symptom motivational symptoms include social withdrawal agitation irritability and
experiences frequent breakdowns (httpwwwwikipediaorg) We can observe out from
this people with their hostile and passive behaviors Finally physical symptoms include
difficulty in sleeping hypersomia fatigue and weight loss
A form of Psychodynamic therapy that
concentrates on present-day interactions between the
depressed person and the social environment is
effective for alleviating depression (Davison 2001)
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) focuses on the personrsquos
current life and aims to understand its interpersonal
