Depression hits everyone at least once in their lifetime.  This mental illness is very common for teens; it can result in mood changes and daily activities. Suffering through this illness may be hard to overcome and while experiencing depression you may start to feel over whelmed and a lone.  Here’s some ways to help overcome and avoid depression.

1.)    Never ignore your problem- Seeking fast help will stop your problem quicker and be easier to overcome. The longer you set your difficulties aside the harder it becomes to deal with.

2.)    Find the right guidance- Teens often resort to the wrong resources when trying to deal with their situation. Teens generally feel embarrassed to talk to parents or those that can guide them in the right direction for healing.  The internet can be helpful, but be careful many people can be unfriendly.

3.)    You’re not alone- Everybody has gone through difficulties through their lives. Understand that depression can go away if treated right.

4.)    Bond with each other- The best way to deal with depression is coping with others in need. You will learn a lot from others. Again make sure you know who you’re talking to, people can be mean.

5.)    Ask questions- Asking the right questions help you to open up and feel better. When the speaker gets questions asked he/she knows that you are interested in learning, resulting in a better conversation.
