Adolescent depression does not usually resolve itself with age.
Regardless of the cause of depression, it is important to actively seek medical attention and have a doctor develop an individualised treatment plan based on the patient’s condition.
Psychotherapy is usually given priority for mild cases, which can effectively improve the patient’s condition, while for moderate or severe cases, systematic medication or medication combined with psychotherapy to alleviate mood should be administered to avoid delaying treatment and worsening the progression of the illness, affecting the patient’s life safety or making the illness chronic.
